Selma, an immigrant factory worker with a degenerative eye condition, clings to her inner world of musicals to escape the harshness of reality. But when her efforts to save her son’s sight lead to devastating consequences, Dancer in the Dark unfolds as a heartbreaking tale of sacrifice, imagination, and injustice. Björk delivers a soul-shaking performance that lingers long after the final frame.

This is not just a film. It’s a gut-punch masked in melody—a cinematic experience unlike any other.

04:36Please don't drop the props, Kathy.
04:38Yeah.
04:47Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, why are you putting it on her head though? I'm a little confused.
04:51I don't know.
04:52I don't know.
04:53It was because she's not going to pick it up.
04:55It kind of looks like you're trying to put a hat on her head or something.
04:59You're fantastic.
05:00You're fantastic.
05:01You're fantastic.

05:27So bad
05:30Wait, I told you no tapping

10:42Nope
11:04Are you tired?
11:08What, what should you
11:12Always
11:13Ask me so
11:14So stupid
11:15Questions
11:21Should I show you my step?
11:34Oh hi
11:35Hi Jean
11:38How's the dancing?
11:40Oh
11:41Good
11:42Yeah?
11:43Yeah
11:44You wanna come over to me and Bella's place
11:46And listen to some music?
11:49That, that would be lovely
11:52But, we couldn't
11:53Come on
11:54Come on
11:55Yeah
11:56I'll
11:57Let's go
11:58Come on
12:08You should ask Bill about his money
12:10Linda likes it when we talk about that
12:16You're doing a very nice job with yours
12:18How about that?
12:20You have to be very careful not to bend the card
12:24Uh huh
12:25Otherwise I don't get paid for it
12:28No
12:29Well
12:30That's fair because
12:31The people in the shops would never wanna buy it if it's bent
12:35Well you wouldn't want it if it was bent
12:37That's true I wouldn't
12:38They wouldn't buy anything if it was bent
12:39No
12:40No
12:41In Czechoslovakia
12:42I saw a film and they were eating candy from a tin just like this
12:58No
12:59And I thought to myself
13:02How wonderful it must be in the United States
13:05Yeah
13:07Yeah
13:08You think my house looks like a movie?
13:09Oh
13:10Our house looks like a movie
13:11Yeah
13:12And you look like a movie star
13:16Bill gives me a lot of money
13:18You know
13:20Then of course it's all that money you inherited isn't it Bill?
13:24That's right
13:25That's right
13:30Hey Sola
13:31Take the rest with you
13:32Are you sure?
13:35Go on
14:02Go on
14:03Go on
14:32No
14:33Don't
14:56Hello
14:57Hello
14:58Good morning
14:59You always pay right on time.
15:02Now, don't worry about Jean.
15:03I'll get him off to school, okay?
15:06Thanks very much.
15:07I'll hand me a bag.
15:11Bye.
15:12Bye.
15:15I think you're always so serious, Cathy.
15:17Oh, again with that.
15:20I don't think inside you're serious at all.
15:24I don't know.
15:26Not always.
15:27Cualta.
15:27Why do you call me that?
15:30It's like someone who's...
15:34What?
15:35I don't know, just big and happy.
15:37Hey, I'm not that big.
15:39Happy, I don't know.
15:41Just need someone to pull it out.
15:50Beautiful eyes.
15:51Yeah.
15:52But he's not really happy, is he?
15:56How's she doing?
15:57It's when she cannot keep up, and she's going to faint.
16:03What?
16:04Ah, she fainted.
16:05Please be quiet.
16:06Oh, give us a break.
16:08She doesn't see that well.
16:09I paid good money to see this film.
16:11Oh, so did she.
16:15I love it when they dance.
16:17For Pete's sake, it's a musical.
16:19Of course they're dancing.
16:20We know that.
16:21Oh, you're so smart.
16:23Yes.
16:26I think you made friends, Cathy.
16:29Shh.
16:29All right, okay.
16:31Come on, I hope you're ready when you want something.
16:33Come on, hang on.
16:35Stop.
16:36All right.
16:36All right.
16:36All right.
16:37Here we go.
16:42So?
16:46Hi, babe.
16:46So what did she say?
16:48What?
16:49What did she say?
16:49She didn't say anything.
16:53Are you trying to tell me something?
16:56It's about the bike.
16:58The bike?
16:59Hmm.
17:00The bike.
17:01I cannot give Jean a bike.
17:06Is this his idea?
17:07It is not his idea.
17:08No.
17:09Jean?
17:10Yeah?
17:11Did you ask him to come over?
17:13No.
17:15No, he doesn't know anything, Selma.
17:18He doesn't.
17:18Frankly.
17:19Why?
17:19Have I done something?
17:20No.
17:22I haven't got the money.
17:23But I'm almost lonely killing class who doesn't have a bike.
17:29I even know what boys get at school.
17:32You all know I haven't got any money.
17:35All the extra money I've got, the times I managed to save up,
17:39I send it to Grandpa.
17:41Come and have a look.
17:42I'm not going to get expensive things for him.
17:43Your mother is only teasing.
17:45Look what she's broke for you.
17:47It's a bike.
17:49We cannot accept that.
17:50Selma, it was secondhand.
17:52I can't give him any expensive things.
17:54I can't even give it for his birthday.
17:57Yeah, but well, that's why.
17:58He's just going to accept that.
17:59I'm not that sort of mom.
18:01I'm just not that kind of mother.
18:04Jean, I'm...
18:05Can't you be that kind of a mother?
18:09It's not exactly a scooter.
18:11Well, we'll see.
18:14We'll see, Mr. Jean.
18:16Careful!
18:16We're going to ride him fast.
18:18Careful!
18:21Hey, Jean, bring it over here.
18:27He looks really happy, doesn't he?
18:29He does look happy.
18:31Here he comes again.
18:34Attention!
18:34Bring it over here.
18:35Mom.
18:36You hear what she said?
18:42Did you say, okay?
18:43Yeah.
18:44Did you say, okay?
18:46Yeah.
18:48I promise to go to school.
18:50Yes, sir.
18:51Yeah?
18:53Every day, on time.
18:55I didn't know you were such a good biker.
18:58Rust and women are the same.
19:01Rust and women are the same?
19:03They are, it's the same.
19:05What is it?
19:06Your father said that?
19:07Yeah.
19:07I don't know what it meant.
19:17He's so kind.
19:19Look at me.
19:21He did all the work, you know.
19:23He's really kind.
19:25Thank you, Jean.
19:28You're welcome.
19:30You're welcome.
19:33Come in.
19:40There's nothing else.
19:43No, no.
19:44I just couldn't sleep, that's all.
19:53I have no money.
19:56All the money that I inherited is...
19:59It's gone.
20:03I'm Linda.
20:09Linda.
20:11She just spends and spends.
20:17And my salary is nowhere near enough.
20:21I can't say no to her.
20:23The bank is going to repossess the house.
20:30Because I'm so far behind on the payments.
20:34And I'm going to lose Linda.
20:37I know it.
20:39I know I am.
20:41She loves you, Bill.
20:47She loves you, Bill.
20:53Oh, don't cry.
20:54I shouldn't have told you.
21:04Don't worry.
21:05I shouldn't have told you.
21:05It's okay.
21:07Don't worry.
21:07Don't you cut enough.
21:08Enough stuff.
21:10Would it make you feel better if I told you a secret?
21:13What secret could you tell me?
21:14I'm going blind.
21:31Not yet, but...
21:33Soon.
21:38Maybe sometime this year.
21:40Yeah.
21:40Yeah.
21:40Yeah.
21:40Yeah.
21:44It's not as bad as it sounds.
22:01It's a...
22:02It's a family thing.
22:10But blind.
22:12I've always known it.
22:13From...
22:15From...
22:16I was a little girl.
22:17I knew.
22:23Are you okay?
22:26Well, I came to America because...
22:30In America they can give Gene an operation.
22:33You know?
22:35Gene?
22:37But he doesn't know about it.
22:41You mustn't tell him.
22:42Because then it could get worse.
22:45I just have to save up money.
22:47You know?
22:48Enough money to...
22:51Oh, I almost got it.
22:54To, um...
22:55For the operation.
22:58They can operate on Gene when he turns 13.
23:01But you made up that story about your father.
23:03I never had a father.
23:08I never had a father.
23:10I made up his name too.
23:15And that's why you put in all these hours and do all these pins and do everything you do.
23:21For him.
23:23For his operation.
23:24Well, it is my fault.
23:32I guess.
23:34Why was it your fault?
23:35Because I knew he would...
23:44He would have bad eyes like me.
23:49But I had him all the same.
23:51You're very strong.
24:00I'm not strong.
24:03I've got little games I play when it goes really hard.
24:09When I'm working in the factory.
24:11And the machines, they make these rhythms.
24:22And I just start dreaming.
24:24And it all becomes music.
24:26But you like the movies, don't you?
24:28I love the movies.
24:29Yeah?
24:30I just love the musicals.
24:33Oh, and they're all tap dancing?
24:34All of them tap dancing.
24:36All of them these huge long lines.
24:39Wouldn't you like to be in that big room?
24:44Yeah.
24:44Just kicking your feet up there.
24:46Yeah.
24:47When they're like spiraling up the huge, huge, enormous wedding cakes to the top.
24:54Yeah.
24:54But isn't it annoying when they do the last song in the films though?
24:58Why?
24:59Because you just know when it goes really big and the camera goes like out of the roof.
25:05And you just know it's going to end.
25:07I hate that.
25:09I really hate that.
25:11I used to cheat on that when I was a little girl back in Czechoslovakia.
25:15I would leave the cinema just after the next Touloussons.
25:22And the film would just go on forever.
25:27It's lovely, isn't it?
25:29It is lovely.
25:33Selma.
25:34Yeah?
25:34Thank you for telling me your secret.
25:41Thanks for telling me yours.
25:45Mum's the word, right?
25:47Mum?
25:50You don't tell anybody?
25:51Oh, yes.
25:54I won't tell anyone.
25:55Goodbye.
26:19Oh, thank you.
26:20So can I get you another?
26:23Yeah, sure
26:25How about a big one? How many is there in a big one? 10,000
26:32I'll have a big one
26:37What's this guy's name again?
26:42The old man your old man guy were guarding these pins for
26:46Your father? I know
26:51Old Rich, right?
26:54Yeah
26:55Old Rich Novi
26:57He used to dance in France
26:59You commies make a big deal out of sharing everything
27:02Yeah
27:04It's a good thing
27:07What are you doing here if Czechoslovakia is so much better than the US of A?
27:16What are you doing here at the end?
27:18Very important
27:20Are you getting here at the moment?
27:21I'm getting a hip-hop
27:41No, Selma, no.
27:53There are two plates.
27:58It's all right.
28:03You know what happens when you put two plates in, don't you?
28:05Well, she didn't do it. I mean, it didn't happen.
28:12You destroy the tool.
28:15It takes a whole day to mend.
28:17Never two plates, Selma. Never.
28:19You cheated the doctor.
28:21You shouldn't be working at the press at all.
28:23I mean, how dare you just... How much can you see?
28:25I could do my job with my eyes closed.
28:27So could you.
28:28No.
28:30It's just because I was daydreaming.
28:33You're dreaming?
28:34Dreaming about what?
28:35No, I just hear music.
28:37Come on, I mean, it's terrific music.
28:39You could also cut off your hand just like that.
28:41You have to watch out every second.
28:43Promise me you'll stay awake.
28:47I promise I will stop daydreaming.
28:49Promise.
28:50No, you repeat that you don't even listen to me.
28:52I don't know why I bother that much.
28:56Hi, Selma.
28:59If you're not going with Kathy, can I give you a lift?
29:02I don't want a boyfriend.
29:04I don't want a boyfriend, like I told you.
29:08Yeah.
29:09I see.
29:09You're a really nice guy, Jeff, but I just don't have time for a boyfriend.
29:16Not right now.
29:18I don't know.
29:19If I wanted a boyfriend, it would be you, Jeff.
29:24I just don't want one right now.
29:33Well, no problem, you know, on the back to have the bike there.
29:37I don't think it's very safe, you know, to ride the bike wearing glasses and all.
29:53Bye, Jeff.
29:54Bye.
30:03You okay?
30:06Yeah, I'm fine.
30:10Hello, Selma.
30:11Hi, Bill.
30:13Headed home?
30:14Uh, yes.
30:16Yep.
30:16Want to throw it in the back?
30:17Oh, that would be lovely.
30:19Yes, please.
30:20Hi, Jeff.
30:21Did you see the truck no like driving like crazy
30:29What he's driving like crazy here
30:38Getting dirty
30:43Thank you. Bye Jeff. Bye. Thank you Bill
30:51Okay, okay, yeah
31:00If I could just make the next payment I'd have a bit more time. Yeah, all I need is long
31:14Just be a month
31:17It's money's genius
31:21I'm sorry Bill
31:24I shouldn't have asked
31:25Oh, yeah, don't worry you should, it's no harm in asking
31:29No, no, I shouldn't have asked
31:30Linda wants new couches
31:32I could always shoot myself
31:41You mustn't say things like that
31:45It just make things easier
31:50You know that Bill?
31:53I know Selma
31:54You mustn't say things like that
31:57Tell them I'm kidding
31:58Hi Selma, come on in
32:07Hi Jean
32:09Good morning
32:10Hi
32:11Hi
32:11How are you?

32:32Can I see the gun?
32:33Yeah, go on
32:34He's got our gun
32:38Sure, he's a police officer
32:40Just didn't know he would keep it here in the house
32:45Oh, yeah
32:46Yeah, yeah
32:47Keeps it in his desk
32:49Maybe I should pay more rent
33:00It's been the same for the whole period I've been here
33:04No, Selma
33:05I won't hear it
33:06You keep your money
33:08You need it more than we do
33:34Two boxes?
34:00Did you decide you are going to do two boxes at the same time now?
34:05Yeah
34:06Selma, ten o'clock then?
34:08Yeah, ten o'clock
34:09What happens at ten o'clock?
34:14I'm gonna do the night shift
34:16The night shift?
34:19You can hardly see well enough to do your own shift
34:21Suits me fine
34:23It's just after drama class
34:25You are going to do that too?
34:30I've had my fill of you, Selma
34:32You do what you want
34:33Go ahead
34:34Break your neck
34:35We do your night shift
34:36But don't sing for one second
34:38I'm going to come and rescue you
34:39Selma
34:48Kathy split already
34:52I'm not looking for Kathy
34:55I was looking for you
34:57I just have to go to a drama rehearsal
35:01That's what you say
35:03You always ride your bike
35:06You have it over there
35:07I left it at home
35:10I thought it would be quicker if I walk
35:13How do you reckon that?
35:15I just walk
35:16Along the railroad tracks
35:18I think it's a shortcut
35:20It's a shortcut
35:22It's a shortcut
35:23I don't understand in musicals
35:45Why do they start to sing and dance all of a sudden
35:50I mean, I don't suddenly start to sing and dance
35:55No
35:57You're right, Jeff, you don't
36:01The last thing on the list is the bake sale
36:07Two Sundays away
36:09Hi, Selma
36:11Come on in
36:12Come on in
36:13I'm going to introduce you to your understudy
36:15Understudy?
36:17Yeah
36:19This girl, Susan, who Boris knows
36:21Is a good singer
36:22She's a good dancer
36:24She'll learn your part too
36:25Because
36:27Say you get a cold
36:29And
36:29You can't do it
36:32Then the show doesn't have to stop
36:34Okay
36:35Susan, Selma
36:38Selma, Susan
36:39Could you take off
36:42Your glasses?
36:43I think we'll do the part
36:51Without glasses
36:52Next Sunday
36:53You will see
36:54Both
36:55Maria's
36:56I mean, Selma will do the role
36:58Really, but
36:59I'll have you read part of it too
37:01Right?
37:03It's your first time on the night shift, right?
37:06Yes, sir
37:06While this is being pressed
37:07You'll be cutting on the other machine
37:09That means
37:11You'll be in charge of two machines
37:13You have to feed Sarah over there, right?
37:18This palette must never be empty
37:20Is it always so dark in here?
37:23What?
37:23Is it always so dark in here?
37:25It's exactly the same as the daytime
37:26Ah, okay
37:27The only thing is that you have to work a little faster
37:30That's what you paid for, right?
37:31Okay
37:31Okay?
37:32Thank you
37:33Excuse me?
37:57Yeah?
37:57You have to work a little
37:58You know, a little faster than this
38:00Okay
38:01What are you doing here?
38:28What do you think?
38:29I didn't put you down for the night shift, Kathy
38:36Run along, Norman
38:39I'm on my own time now
38:41How I spend it is my own business
38:44Night, ladies
38:45Good night
38:46Faster
38:49A little faster
38:51I like it better when you dance
38:53If you dance
38:55I will dance
38:57When there is music
38:59I will dance when there is music
38:59I will dance when there is music
39:25Clutter! Crash!
39:54Clutter!
39:57Clutter!
39:59Clutter!
40:01Clutter!
40:08It's music.
40:09Now dance.
40:12Listen, Qualta.

40:18You're the dancer
40:23You got the sparkle in your eyes

41:30That spins you around

43:11That spins us around
43:17It spins us around

43:24Salma! Stop it! You've got yourself!
43:29Get away from the machine!
43:31Henry!
43:40Oh, Jeff is here.
43:44Hello, Jeff.
43:45Hi, Cathy.
43:47Do you live here?
43:50Well, she might say yes to a ride
43:52When it's this late.
43:54Maybe Cathy wants a ride.
43:57No, it's all right.
44:01What's that with your hand?
44:03She got to cut my finger.
44:05Yeah, it's going to be all right.
44:07Late, Sasha.
44:09Night.
44:10Night.
44:11Careful.
44:12Careful.
44:40Named.
44:41That's all right.
44:43That's all right.
44:45Like, help me.
44:46I'm going to be here.
44:47Let's go down.
44:49Okay.
44:51Let's go down.
44:52Once, I have a minute to get on it.
44:53I want to hold it back.
44:54I want to hold it back.
44:55I want to hold it back.
44:56So I don't have to go down.
44:57I want to hold it back.
44:59I want to hold it back.
45:01I think I've found a solution to my problem.
45:15That makes me really happy.
45:20It's nothing special.
45:23But I've made up my mind I'm going to tell Linda and...
45:30I mean, after all, she loves me and...
45:37We'll just work it out together.
45:41That sounds like a really good idea, Bill.
45:52I'm sorry, I'll let you get to bed.
45:55I guess I'm kind of tired.
45:57Thanks, Bill.
45:59Good night, Summer.
46:00Good night, Bill.
46:02Good night, Bill.
46:04Good.
46:08Good night, Bill.
46:10Bill?
46:40Bill?
47:10What's happening now?
47:40Here we go, Selma, are you ready?
48:04So long, farewell, I'll be the same at night.
48:09I hate to go and leave this pretty sight.
48:13And?
48:14You're on.
48:21Cut.
48:22Cut.
48:23Stop.
48:24Stop, please.
48:25This is Selma's entrance, okay?
48:27Yeah?
48:29Yeah.
48:30Okay, paw, please.
48:31That's real absurd little bird.
48:34It's hard to think it is.
48:36I don't know.
48:38So long, farewell, I'll be the same at night.
48:44And?
48:45Kathy, what are you doing?
48:50This is Maria's entrance.
48:52Yes.
48:53I'm sorry.
48:54It's my mistake.
48:55Please, please.
48:56I don't have all night.
48:57Six steps.
48:58Six steps.
48:59Let's take this a little more seriously.
49:11Good.
49:12Okay, I'm thinking maybe, Selma, you could take a little sort of circle around Boris on this
49:17next part, unless you have something else you want to suggest.
49:22I'm open.
49:25Okay?
49:26Samuel.
49:27Yes?
49:28I need to talk to you.
49:31Oh, Selma, please.
49:32If it's about the drummer, I have been looking everywhere for a drummer.
49:35It's not about the drummer.
49:36It's not about the drummer.
49:38It's not about the drummer.
49:44Just a quick word.
49:46Do you want to go outside?
49:47Yeah.
49:48Okay.
49:49And up in the nursery, an absurd little bird is popping out to say cuckoo.
50:00I'm not going to play Maria.
50:02Why?
50:03My heart just isn't in this.
50:07Like, I should be wasting my time on something that isn't that important, really.
50:15I've been watching Suzanne, and she's, she's great.
50:22She's, she's very, she's a much better dancer than I am.
50:26Terrific.
50:27She's a great dancer.
50:28Suzanne's terrific.
50:29I'm not denying that.
50:30But you, you, I thought you lived for musicals.
50:33So you've been pretending the whole time?
50:36Yeah.
50:37Yes.
50:38I've just been pretending.
50:40I don't know what else I could do with you.
50:42I've got everything cast right now.
50:44Yeah.
50:45The only part that's left is the old nun who lets Maria out of the convent gate.
50:51I don't think you'd want that part.
50:52There's no dancing in that.
50:54She's quite serious then.
50:57She's serious.
50:58Yeah.
50:59It's important for the part.
51:00Okay.
51:01And not dancing really.
51:03No.
51:04I could put a little bit of dancing in there.
51:08You think so?
51:09I didn't have it in mind.
51:12You can have your job in.
51:15She could be just a little humorous once in a while.
51:21Even though she's a nun.
51:22You'll always be my perfect Maria.
51:27Where are all the hairpins today?
51:32I left them at home.
51:35And she won't be playing Maria.
51:37Yep.
51:38What do you reckon I'm gonna do if I can't ball you out for learning your lines?
51:41I'm company time.
51:42One.
51:43Two.
51:44Three.
51:45What kind of a joke is that?
51:46Well she's beating me.
51:47I need her word with you.
51:48We're talking right now.
51:49All right.
51:50Come on.
51:51Please sit down.
51:52Please sit down.
51:53Please sit down.
51:56Please sit down.
51:58Please sit down.
52:01Please sit down.
52:03Please sit down.
52:06Please sit down.
52:09Please sit down.
52:10We were off for the whole day.
52:15Everything stops when the machine breaks.
52:18You know that.
52:19I can do my job just fine.
52:23And if I stick to the day shift, this won't happen again.
52:31I daydream too much.
52:34I decided to quit.
52:39And I guess then I forgot.
52:47I've been ordered to let you go somewhere.
52:53You're not going to have to pay for the machine you broke.
53:00I got him to agree to that.
53:02Oh, thanks, Norman.
53:08This is your salad.
53:14And you know, maybe we can find you something away from the machines.
53:20Or your eyesight wouldn't matter so much.
53:25Not right away.
53:27That's very kind of you.
53:29But I'll be okay.
53:31I really will.
53:34Thanks, Norman.
53:35Thank you, Selma.
53:50What is she going to do now?
53:58Did you ever think about that?
54:03Don't worry, Kathy.
54:04Really.
54:05I'm going to be fine.
54:09Is anybody seen Jeff today?
54:12He's usually here early, Selma.
54:13Not this early.
54:15It's a shame.
54:16Selma?
54:35Selma?
54:36I could give you a lift if you want.
54:39I will need a lift.
54:41Later.
54:42I need to do something important at 3.
54:49You need to get your truck then don't you?
54:53Yeah.
55:02The train is coming, get off the truck, you have to be careful.
55:08Stay to the side.
55:12You can't see can you?
55:37What is there to see?
55:42I've seen it all. I have seen the trees. I have seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze. I've seen a man killed by his best friend.
55:57And lives that were over before they were spent. I've seen what I was and I know what I...
56:12I've seen what I was and I know what I...
