What is the link?
I had no clue any of Lars Von Trior's film were "Trilogies" until I looked up information on "Zentropa" after seeing the last 30 minutes on IFC the other day. I own "Dancer in the Dark" "Dogville" and am about to get "Breaking the Waves"--all of which I love--But I made no connection between "Breaking" and "Dancer" what-so-ever, other than they were about a female lead that had a spiral downfall into a depressing ending....I mean...it didn't seem like "Dancer" was a sequal or anything--same concepts, yes....but....not the same characters like "Mandalay" and "Dogville" I don't know...maybe I missed something the 13 times I saw "Dancer in the Dark"--Is "The Idiots" the link between "Breaking the Waves" and "Dancer in the Dark" that makes it noticably a "trilogy" or is it just considered that because of the Golden "Age" or whatever.....concept Von Trior has...
I would really love to see this film because I loved "Breaking the Waves" (10/10) and "Dancer in the Dark" (10/10) --much better than "Dogville" (8/10)-but still respectively good. So don't think I'm bashing Von Trior--I just always have this tone. It seems interesting and now I have to see it--makes more sense that I kept thinking "Breaking" and "Dancer" were soooo much alike, but yeah, just that one question: Is there a connection, or are they just similiar concepts? Thank you.
