In 1999, Björk offered her musical skills to Danish director Lars von Trier -- the [Dogma 88]? stalwart noted for movies such as Breaking The Waves and The Idiots. His next movie was to be a musical, and Björk agreed to write all the songs for it; eventually von Trier convinced Björk into taking the star role in the movie as well. The resulting film Dancer in the Dark won critical acclaim for her portrayal of a Czech immigrant going blind, and for her soundtrack album, Selmasongs. |
