   Is breaking the waves a good movie?

   • Either way, it’s quite an experience. There may be no way to prepare for the shock of Lars von Trier's Breaking the Waves, a film that accumulates moral momentum as it rolls on and bears down on you in its last half hour like a lightning strike. Emily Watson gives this musty spiritualism a flesh and-blood sympathetic center.

   Is breaking the waves uncredited?

   Are Dreyer's films based on breaking the waves?

   • Yes, probably films like La Passion de Jeanne d’Arc and Gertrud have had their relevance in connection to Breaking the Waves. His films are naturally more academic, more refined. What is new for me is that a woman is at the centre of the story. All of Dreyer’s films have a woman as the central character. And a suffering woman besides.

   How long did it take to make breaking the waves?

   • Breaking the Waves took five years and forty-two million kroner to make. Where did the original idea for the film come from? I prefer working with extreme ideas, and I wanted to make a film about “goodness.” When I was little, I had a children’s book called Guldhjerte [Goldheart], which I had very clear and happy memories of.
