Breaking The Waves

"Breaking the Waves" by Lars von Trier (1996)

When von Trier talks about his work in film, you realize that the film school he saw a peculiar pleasure, and since then he feels his life - the pleasure of a violation of the rules and traditions. Still in his pictures are amazing and shooting shaky camera, and apparently impromptu remarks, and too natural sex, and frozen landscapes, from time to time, stopping the narrative.
The film "Breaking the Waves" (1996) opened his trilogy about the holy fool, foolish - women who sacrifice everything and newly holiness. Yang, a stranger in the Scottish community with severe temper after the accident, is paralyzed and asks his ingenious and pious wife Bess to sleep with other men and tell him about it - that leads her to the finals to be martyred.

Drama set in a repressed, deeply religious community in the north of Scotland, where a naive young woman named Bess McNeil meets and falls in love with Danish oil-rig worker Jan.
