I know it's been out for over a year, but I've only just got round to getting the White BoxSet and absolutely loved it.
Up there with my fave films of all time, yet this is one that I don't think I could watch again for quite a while....
First time round I really found the whole thing draining (in a good way?!?!) but then I am a bit soft.

Any thoughts?

Screenplay and Selma's Songs CD - Though the words, and arrangement are slightly different than in the film.
I was surprised to read that the original script given to Bjork didn't involve Selma's blindness at all !!
I don't think that would have been as engrossing - what could they have called it...? Dancer...?

Ps - I think there was a Black Boxset that only included one of the two items, don't know which.

I agree with you - I loved it but found it so emotionally overpowering that I doubt if I could watch it again... puts me in a bit of a quandary since I love Björk's work and the DVD would normally be high on my wants list!

Edit - should've said that I saw it in the cinema!

Agree.

Not sure I could ever see the whole thing again.

My wife was shocked, she'd never seen me cry as much and in public too!
