synopsis


Lars Von Trier's challenging Breaking The Waves is set in the early 1970s. A naive young girl, Bess (Emily Watson), living in a small community on the north west of Scotland, falls in love with oil-rig worker and man-of-the-world Jan (Stellan Skarsgard). Despite local opposition they marry and live out a brief but intense love affair. Jan returns to the rig, whilst Bess counts the days to his homecoming sure that their love is made in heaven. When an accident renders Jan paralysed he is worried that Bess will cut herself off from a normal life. Realising that he will be bedridden, he convinces her that she will aid his recovery by taking a lover and relating to him their sexual acts...
