Description
Set in a remote Scottish village in the 1970s, Lars von Trier's Palme d'Or–nominated masterwork follows Bess (Emily Watson), a naive and deeply religious young woman who marries Jan (Stellan Skarsgård), an oil-rig worker. When Jan is paralysed in an accident and urges Bess to take lovers and describe them to him, her devotion leads her on an increasingly desperate and heartbreaking path. A devastating study of faith, love, and self-sacrifice.
