In The Dark (2000) — Dancer

Lars von Trier’s 2000 film Dancer in the Dark is a unique, emotionally heavy "digital folk tale" starring Björk as a visually impaired immigrant mother whose grim life transforms into colorful musical daydreams. The film, which won the Palme d'Or at Cannes, uses a gritty, handheld camera style for reality, contrasted with vibrant, multi-camera musical sequences set to industrial rhythms. It offers a intense look at sacrifice and the American Dream, often described as an emotional ordeal.
