Chasing the feel of watching Dancer in the Dark ? Here are the movies we recommend you watch right after.

DitD is LVT's magnus opus. Just out of his "Dogme 95" phase, but still influenced by its roots, he leverages technology without becoming a slave to it. Dozens of cheap DV cameras are spread on set and give us a sense of immersion usually not found in this genre. He nails the choreography, manages to secure collabs with the best of the best at the time (Tom Yorke, etc), and Bjork shines bright, so much brighter than she did in "Juniper Tree". This came at the cost of her mental and physical health, a level of dedication that makes the final scene all the more powerful. I was in shock for 3 days after watching this in the theaters. It's THE defining movie for those who want to get into 'arthouse' genre and outside of the now completely dead swamp Hollywood has become. Amazing - truly what a film should be.
