b"Dancer In The Dark was a dark musical melodrama from Danish director Lars Von Trier, released in 2000 and starring eccentric pop singer Bj\\xf6rk Gu\\xf0mundsd\\xf3ttir in the leading role. The story follows a recent immigrant to America in the 1960s with an obsession with American musical films, who finds herself slowly going blind. She attempts to navigate her life and prevent her young son from befalling a similar fate all while drifting in and out of daydreams resembling musical numbers. It was a highly acclaimed film that received numerous awards as well as a Best Original Song nomination at the Academy Awards.

On this episode of Hell Is A Musical Lilz and Scott are reunited with fellow Zero Science cohorts, and previous guests Christopher Brown (First time/last time guest) and Patrick S. Barry for a viewing of this inhumanly depressing piece of Dogme 95 cinema. Join them for rousing discussions of such topics as Peter Falk, gravity boots, bologna, vile spendthrifts, and maybe (just maybe) they'll discuss the film itself.
