Selma, the third of von Trier’s “good women,” is a factory worker with deteriorating eyesight struggling to earn enough money to pay for an eye operation for her son. After a tragic turn of events, her fate is irrevocably altered. Recalling the Hollywood musicals of her youth, Selma drifts in and out of a fantasy world punctuated by alternately joyous and melancholy musical pieces (including a courtroom cameo by Broadway legend Joel Grey). After the exhaustive production, Icelandic songstress Björk vowed never to act on film again.
