In which Emily Watson either loses it completely, or gains the Kingdom
of Heaven, depending on your point of view. She plays naïve
Scottish islander Bess, who courts the disapproval of her fiercely
religious, insular community when she marries an outsider
(Skarsgard). Things get really bizarre when he is crippled in an
accident and orders her to have sex with random strangers. Intense and
disturbing, like some fly on the wall documentary gone horribly wrong,
this was the moment when Von Trier first really caught the world's
attention.
