A new tab will open and a basic security check like a captcha will be performed. After completing the check, close that page and return here.
Refresh this page. Wait 30 secs. The movie should load and you can just hit play.

The movie should now start playing in a new tab of your browser or begin downloading to your device. This option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs with this method.
The new system here has been designed keeping in mind even people with low internet speeds sub-8mbps. Even if you have a really bad connection, you should still be able to watch the movie without any issues if you:
Start the movie. Pause it. Wait for 30-45 seconds. Start playing again.
This 'Can't Watch' method really only works if it's your specific device/browser that's interfering with the player. There is no real advantage of speed here. Or if there is a temp network glitch or read lag from the server disk.
If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.

Plot – Spoilers:
Selma, a Czechoslovakian immigrant in ’60s America, lives with her son in a rented trailer and works a menial job at a factory. Diminutive, child-like and prone to flights of musical fantasy, Selma is liked and understood by people around her, mostly for her firm honesty.
But Selma has her secrets and lies, apart from a weird British accent she often breaks into. She’s losing her sight – a genetic condition she’s certain her son Gene is afflicted with too. And so her singular ambition is to save up for his eye operation when he hits thirteen.
Guilt is the overriding theme here and in some ways, Selma is driven to the choices she makes in the end, by a desperation for atonement – for having had Gene despite knowing he was likely to have the same degenerative condition.
Favorite scene is probably the end. Not because it was finally done, but for the abruptness with which a song can end.
Really good film. David Morse plays a dirt bag real well. Björk is a very good actress too (who knew?). Sad story with some shocking twists and turns. Gotta give it 5 stars. This is one of Lars Von Trier’s best films, along with “Antichrist” (2009), “Melancholia” (2011), “Breaking The Waves” (1996) and “Nymphomaniac” (2013).
This movie is pretty much just trauma porn with a film written around it. 10/10 made me cry 5 times ily Björk <3 <3
Loved this movie. Which is funny, because I don’t like bjorks music or musicals in general. She was great in this though!
this movie is very sad. i hate how badly she was fucked over, but also why didnt she just speak up for herself 🙁 she should have told the lady next door that her husband is a thief and a liar and showed her the empty tin. then make it known that he pulled a gun on her and is acting crazy. also she should have just told them shes saving money to get her son an operation. and she lied about her vision to get the job. yeah lying about that wouldnt make her look great but its better than the alternative. i guess maybe part of it is that she was an immigrant and maybe there are cultural differences but idk i just wish she would have spoken up for herself against those fuckers. especially bill she should have stopped protecting him the moment he stole her money.
I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS MOVIE . SO SAD SHE HAD TO DIE IN THE END
God I hate musicals …and not a big djork fan ,and like some gal as hot as the great Cathrine Denueve is working in a metal stamp factory?? Udo “ to know life is to fuck death in the gall bladder” kier?? What a strange little romp of cast name dropping ….joel gray?? Wow.
I give this film a one …..one finger salute.
After hearing so much about this being so awful I just didn’t think it was, good film tho!
She’s so hot I wanna watch her rectum split as I fist it into destruction..
its oretty giid i like bjork i think vespertine her best album
I love Lars’s work, it’s amazingly sick and lovely. Thx for uploading his movies so young people can get a sense of great art and get familiar with great directors like him.
I can NOT FUCKING STAND musicals, but i loved this movie so much.
This was so heartbreaking. The ending had me sobbing. The fact that it ended so abruptly really fucked me up. Amazing movie.
Bjork is so hideous and off putting it’s impossible to have any sympathy with her . . . The only halfway rewarding part of the movie is the ending, and even that’s soiled by two hysterical caricatures. I mean, you’d think they’d lock that door . . . Whatever, RIP, Ricardo.
I would like to watch like that movies
Couldn’t watch past 10 mins. Who cares lol
Wow.. corny as hell
Great film. Lars Van Trier’s best IMHO.
OMG, who knew you’d offer me up such a heartwrenching, musical here! I’m sobbing… it was utterly beautiful. Thank you so much for this site!
this movie wasn’t that effed up and i usually find musicals cheesy, but i loved Björk’s singing and this movie was surprisingly good
that was gorgeous. i sobbed throughout the entire ending.
they really made us fall hard for selma before ripping her away, huh?
thank you for posting this. the american justice system is fucked.
Sad, depressing and very well acted. Thanks for uploading this one.
What an incredible film. This one will stick with you.
Thank you for this upload. What an amazing movie.. I’m still in tears
Most depressing movie I have ever seen. Just thinking of the ending makes me tear up instantly. Thank you for your wonderful uploads and stay safe in this horrible time
thank you very much
Hands down one of the best disturbingly sad films I’ve ever seen and 20 years later it still gives me chills. Even the lead actress Bjork (A Singer) spoke on how emotionally draining it was to perform or act in this film and for that reason may never do it again . Lars Von Trier is a genius and he may have more noteworthy films but to me this storyline intertwined through a musical from start to finish is an absolute masterpiece.
