For our next film, we will be showing Breaking the Waves (158 minutes). Directed by the acclaimed Danish filmmaker Lars von Trier, the film is set in a remote Scottish Highland community in the 1970s. It won numerous awards, including the Grand Prix at the 1996 Cannes Film Festival, and stars Emily Watson in her breakthrough role alongside Stellan Skarsgård. The film tells the story of Bess, an unconventional young woman whose profound love for her husband leads her into making increasingly difficult choices. Exploring themes of love, sacrifice, faith, and suffering, Breaking the Waves poses challenging questions: How do we distinguish God's voice from our own desires, fears, and wounds? What does self-giving love look like? In this movie there are no easy answers.
