Synopsis

Lars von Trier’s breakthrough film is a startling but ultimately vivid and meaningful look at a marriage that persists through injury and disability. Emily Watson and Stellan Skarsgård star as the newlyweds in a small Scottish backwater whose relationship hits a major iceberg but who manage, even if their solution is morally offensive to the town and the church. A visually stunning, gorgeously acted film that still packs a major emotional wallop . Winner of the Grand Prix at Cannes.
