“[The way in which the film depicts her] progressive suffering [puts] us in the position of the sadistic observer secretly enjoying what he officially condemns”
- [Lars von Trier’s film Dancer in the Dark professes] compassion with the excessively good heroine. [But the way in which the film depicts her] progressive suffering [puts] us in the position of the sadistic observer secretly enjoying what he officially condms: this sadistic pleasure is ..the hidden truth of compassion. And for this, von Trier should never be forgiven.
