The second look at one of my favorite movie moms. (Here’s the first)
Selma in Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark
Bjork’s portrayal of a mother going blind who is worried about passing her bum gene on to her son is nothing short of heartbreaking (in the manipulative Lars von Trier way). She exemplifies what it means to be selfless, right up to “the last song.” Her quest to ensure that her son will be able to see is one filled with tragedy, murder and music and isn’t to be missed!
Like Selma says, “I just wanted to hold a little baby. ”
