| A Taste of LARS VON TRIER: Period 2: (''The Dogma Years'') ''BREAKING THE WAVES'' A Taste of LARS VON TRIER Period Two: “The Dogma Years” Breaking the Waves (Directed by Lars von Trier/Denmark/1996/153mins.)  With Emily Watson, Stellan Skarsgard, Katrin Cartlidge, Jean-Marc Barr In the back-to-the-basics headset of “Dogma 95” filmmaking (even though not completely complying with the rules and regulations of the movement, and before his true Dogma effort The Idiots) Von Trier created this internationally acclaimed drama. A shy, religious woman (Emily Watson) sinks into a sea of mental instability and infidelity when her husband is paralyzed from the neck down in this tale set on the torrid shores of Scotland. Because he is no longer able to satisfy her, her husband convinces her to seek out sexual partners, something she is not emotionally equipped to handle.
