From a bare look at the plot this film can appear a typical melodrama. Essentially it's just a tragic love story set in working class religious Scottish Highlands. Trier's magic though, in the tradition of Cassavetes and Fassbinder, transforms this base into an intense psychological study of human passion and it's extremes. All while a realist style challenging beauty and perversion is at play.

Many of us were hit hard by
Many of us were hit hard by Breaking the Waves when it debuted in theaters. It is inarguably, no matter what you consider its merits, where Von Trier blew up. He found his 'voice.' It was a big leap. He went in a flash from emotionless tripping technician to emotional exorcist. The subject: woman and superego. Sacrifice (very Scandinavian). Dryer w/ melodrama. But melodrama served raw. Two actresses on fucking fire.
