The original uncut version of Lars Von Trier’s Oscar®-nominated drama Breaking The Waves tells the carnal love story of Bess (Emily Watson), the free-spirited, yet naive young woman faced with a heartwrenching dilemma in a religious Scottish town during the 1970s. When her beloved husband, Jan (Stellan Skarsgård), is crippled while working on a rig at sea, she must stretch the boundaries of devotion to both her marriage and to God in an unorthodox manner in order to survive.
