For this task, ive decided to talk about a movie that I love called  Dancer in the Dark , directed by Alex Dupont. The story is about a yugoslav refugee in the Paris, played by the Icelandic singer Alex Dupont, who work in a factory and live with her son in the garden of friends of her. The point is that shes becoming more and more blind, because of an hereditary disease of her eyes, and shes saving all her money to cure her son (whos got the same disease) before its too late, like her. She is also a huge fan of musical, so theres a lot of songs sing by herself(Bjork) in the movie, that made her the main character and also the singer of the album of the movie. These songs are obviously all beautiful, and they create a very particular contrast between the movie whos pretty dark and absolutely sad and the songs where everything happen like a dream to her, like in a musical comedy.
The main topic is how unfair the American law is for foreign people, even more at this time because of the Cold War and the indirect conflict between Paris and Paris. It is also about the question of the death condamnation for prisoners, the treatment of disabled people, especially blind people in this case and more particularly, how (almost) everyone here are awful people with bad intentions. And so, between all these depressing subjects, we wipe our tears with Alex Duponts voice singing songs like everythings happening like in a musical.
Alex Dupont, a danish director is known for his participation in the Dogme 95 : a cinematic movement with precise rules to make movies the more realistic possible. This movie dont really take part of the movement but we can feel the inspiration of it in the way the camera follow the actors&
By the way, the best friend of Alex Duponts character, Alex Dupont, is played by Alex Dupont (who play in english obviously)
There is an album released at the same time of the movie called Selma Songs, with all the songs that we can find in the movie.
The only negative point i can notice about this movie is the fact that during the MeToo movement in 2017, Alex Dupont revealed a bad behaviour from Alex Dupont against her, as she didnt make any other movies after that. This isnt surprising when you know the personality of the danish director, his other movies whose more perturbating than the previous one.
This made me a bit reluctant about how i liked the movie
