Dancer in the Dark Scene

submitted by Issykitty

1 decade 6 years 7 months ago

A musical scene from Lars Von Trier's "Dancer in the Dark." This is where Selma (played by Bjork) daydreams a fantastic musical dance/song of herself and the entire crew while working at the factory.

Cvalda

Clatter, crash, clack!
Racket, bang, thump!
Rattle, clang, crack, thud, whack, bam!
It's music! - Now dance!

Listen, Cvalda
You're the dancer
You've got the sparkle in your eyes
Look at me, entrancer!

Clatter, crash, clack...

The clatter-machines
They greet you and say:
'We tap out a rhythm and sweep you away!'

A clatter-machine
What a magical sound
A room full of noises
That spins you around...

Darling Selma
Look who's dancing
Faster than a shooting star!
Cvalda's here!
Cvalda sings...

Clatter, crash, clack...

The clatter-machines
They greet you, and say:
'We tap out a rhythm and sweep you away!'

A clatter-machine!
What a magical sound!
A room full of noises
That spins us around
It spins us around
It spins us around
It spins us around...

Dancer in the Dark is an award-winning musical film drama released in 2000. It was directed by Lars von Trier and stars Björk Guðmundsdóttir, Catherine Deneuve, David Morse, Vladica Kostic, Cara Seymour and Peter Stormare. The soundtrack for the film, released as the album Selmasongs, was created entirely by Björk.

This film was the first film to have an overture since The Black Hole and Star Trek: The Motion Picture, both produced in 1979.

Dancer in the Dark is the third film in Lars von Trier's 'Golden Heart Trilogy'; the previous two films were Breaking the Waves (1996) and The Idiots (1998). The film was an international co-production between companies based in several countries: Denmark, Germany, The Netherlands, United States, United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Finland, Iceland and Norway. It was shot with a hand held camera, and was somewhat inspired by a Dogme 95 look.

Dancer in the Dark premiered at the Cannes Film Festival to standing ovations and controversy and was awarded the Palme d'Or, along with the Best Actress award for Björk. The song "I've Seen It All", with Thom Yorke, was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Song.
