Dancer in the Dark

The Big Mates discuss Dogme 95, found sounds, The Mask, and Dancer in the Dark,starring Björk. 

Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their exploration of Björk's career by examining the Lars Von Trier musical film she starred in. They talk about the cinematic style, her performance, and how she managed to balance that with writing the songs and score for the film.

What will we make of the film? What does it tell us about Björk? Is it a period piece?  Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday September 21st, and will focus on this film's accompanying album, Selmasongs.
