breaking the waves was von trier’s first theatrical film after the dogme manifesto was unveiled in march 1995, and, ironically, it contains too many exceptions to the dogme “vow of chastity”—studio sets, post - dubbed music, computer graphics, and so on—to qualify for certification. yet it conveys the sense of vital immersion in reality that the movement called for, capturing the feel of authentic human existence even during its transcendent finale, and anticipating von trier’s next theatrical picture, the idiots (1998), his only official dogme film. bearing out the spirit if not the letter of the dogme credo, breaking the waves shows that von trier is too ornery an artist to be bound even by his own rules .

the mist – frank darabont’s 2007 film has become a part of film junk lore for a couple of reasons. in an early episode, it was revealed that jay angrily confronted some fellow moviegoers who were laughing and talking during the movie, calling them “cocksuckers. ” more recently, it became the subject of a heated debate over whether or not the end of the movie can be considered a twist ending. this prompted frank to coin the phrase, “the mist ain’t a twist. ” (see: episode # 599: paterson and episode # 600: john wick: chapter 2. )

the first time i saw white bird in a blizzard, i admit i had similar feelings of frustration and bafflement for most of its 91 - minute runtime. initially, the plot seemed messy; its coming - of - age tropes rudimentary; and after one particular line that a character delivers about halfway through the film, the solution to its central missing - person mystery shamelessly predictable. but then the final 10 minutes of the film unveil a shocking twist that not only broke my heart, but made me completely change my perspective on what had come before it, forcing myself to question whether or not i was far too impulsive to judge what araki was aiming to convey from a thematic standpoint. upon subsequently watching the picture for a second and third time, i now believe my preliminary thoughts on the film were deeply misguided, to the point that it has now become one of my favorite films of the year .
rob niosi – one of the subjects of jay’s documentary, how to build a time machine, who is building a full - scale replica of the time machine from the 1960 film. he previously worked as an animator on pee - wee’s playhouse and did the stop motion intro for a very gerry xmas .

the following is a guide to the many colourful terms, phrases and inside jokes that often turn up on the film junk podcast. the goal is to help new listeners become acquainted with the show’s vast history and unique mythology. if you have any other suggestions for new entries, please send them to filmjunk @ urltoken .
what in the world motivates jan to demand such repugnant actions from the wife he adores? this puzzle lends urgency and poignancy to the film’s second half, and von trier resists the temptation to spell out the answer too obviously. it’s possible that an imp of the perverse now possesses jan, instilling him with dark fantasies he’s compelled to gratify at bess’s expense. but the deeper, truer reason is rooted in the fundamental theme of this richly philosophical romance, which was inspired by von trier’s wish to make a film in which no one is “bad, ” everyone is “good, ” and when trouble flares anyway, it’s because incompatible concepts of “good” can violently conflict with one another .
doug nagy – hamilton - based comedian and former co - host of the movie blog audio edition podcast with john campea. previous guest appearances on the film junk podcast include episode # 300: true grit, episode # 264: clash of the titans, episode # 224: transformers: revenge of the fallen and episode # 125: transformers .
buying or selling – a lame trope that started on business shows giving stock advice that has somehow made its way onto certain movie podcasts as well. if a particular news item is a good idea and seems likely to result in a successful movie, you would “buy” it, otherwise you would want to sell. sometimes referenced sarcastically on film junk .
gooby – a 2009 canadian children’s film about a little boy and his imaginary friend, a terrifying - looking giant teddy bear. partially watched on tv by sean late one night while sick with a fever, thus scarring him for life. first mentioned on episode # 396: killing them softly and then later revisited on episode # 501: a most violent year .
celebrity apprentice – reality show hosted by donald trump where various celebrities compete in challenges to raise money for charity. when a new season is airing, the film junk crew often discusses each new episode in detail as a recurring weekly feature on the podcast. these discussions have now been spun off into a separate podcast called the boardroom. (see also: donald trump )
the same notion of living according to gender - based / sociological archetypes could be applied to every character in the film, regardless of their sexual orientation. take the brief sequence where eve and brock examine their future home during an open - house meeting, for example. sandra valde - hansen’s cinematography embellishes the setting with a diluted tint of yellow as the couple walks through the front door, fabricated expressions of happiness lit among their faces. “it’s perfect, right? ” brock asks to his skeptical wife. “it’s everything i’ve ever wanted, ” she replies with a transparent smile. it’s the only moment of the film in which these two characters exchange a line of dialogue where they seem content with one another, when in reality they’re anything but .
at her best, marshall captures the camaraderie of these women in ways that rip the film out of its clichtd roots. davis, who is terrific, subtly shows us the conflicting emotions of a forties woman torn between ambition and duty, without patronizing dottie or her choices. in these moments it seems fair to stop razzing league and let rip with a “go, peaches! ”
6 star rating – a concept introduced by jay on episode # 513: the avengers: age of ultron that would allow each film junk host to pick two movies a year that will be awarded a special 6 star rating (out of 5 stars) because they are essentially better than perfect. this rating must be awarded upon initial review and cannot be upgraded after the fact .
at first the girls are shaken by the jeering, leering male fans and by jimmy dugan, their boozing manager. but since tom hanks plays dugan, you know there’s a softie under the stubble. dugan’s hands - off flirtation with the married dottie and his grudging respect for the team redeem him. despite reports that the actresses trained hard for the baseball scenes, none should quit their day jobs. still, their spirit enlivens the tired plot. sentiment mars the film, as it did marshall’s otherwise admirable awakenings .
a little later, the epilogue recalls a seemingly minor detail in the story—the fact that the village church has no bells to ring, even for weddings or other festive occasions. von trier doesn’t remind us of this directly or give some commonsense explanation for it. instead he subtly alludes to it, and then audaciously juxtaposes this picayune mystery with a grand, majestic mystery, ending the film with a magical vision that elevates the final moments to radically metaphysical heights. the vision isn’t entirely unprecedented—reminiscences of andrei tarkovsky’s 1983 nostalghia are surely deliberate on von trier’s part—but it’s unsurpassed for sheer visual magnificence .
when phil won’t satisfy kat’s sexual needs, she begins sleeping with the macho detective scieziesciez. the detective’s acquiescence to kat’s advances may make him seem like a creep for having an affair with a 17 - year - old girl. however, it becomes clear that after witnessing several horrific crimes from being on the job—such as an obese man being burned alive who “had so much body fat [ he was ] like a human candle”—scieziesciez uses sex for the same reasons as everyone else in the film. it isn’t until he informs kat of his belief that her father murdered her mother when kat breaks everything off with him, her orgasm - laden coping mechanism reduced to a personified reminder of exactly what she’s trying to forget .
john fowles' s 1963 novel the collector uses the catcher in the rye as
one of the most brilliant examples of adolescence
in popular culture, possibly under a moral light. [ 29 ] in it, miranda encourages her kidnapper clegg to read catcher, thinking he might relate to holden caulfield' s alienation. [ 14 ] however, clegg finds holden' s actions unrealistic given holden' s wealth and status, and
[ doesn' t ] see much point in it .
in the film adaptation of the collector, this conversation and clegg' s attitude toward the novel and popular culture is subdued. [ 30 ] the collector novel has itself been linked to several serial killers. [ 14 ]
later, in a drunken haze, eve attempts to seduce phil while he and kat do homework in the basement. brimming with jealous rage in regards to her daughter’s sexual appeal, eve dons a slinky blue and black skirt, telling phil that he should stay for dinner since she’s making her “famous beef wellington. ” this is the second time in the film that we’ve seen her attempt to seduce him with a meal—but then brock comes home, disapproving of eve’s sultry attire, and when she opens up the freezer to find nothing but rotting meat, the family resorts to the kitchen. affirming that the four of them go out to dinner, brock asks eve what she wants, to which she replies, “i don’t want this…i don’t want any of it. you…this house…i want my fucking life back. ”
the epilogue of breaking the waves is impossible to describe—it must literally be seen to be believed—but it grows organically and coherently from everything that’s come before it, bringing the film to a bold and brilliant conclusion. first, it returns to the story’s main philosophical concern, pre­senting an inquest where the kindly dr. richardson is required to state his professional view of the psychological condition that led bess to her doom. earlier, he admits, he saw her as immature, unstable, obsessive, even psychotic. but in hindsight, his verdict is very different. “if you were to ask me again to write the conclusion, ” he says, “then i might use a word like good. ” that is clearly von trier’s diagnosis as well, and after witnessing her story, we are likely to share it .
in the end, of course, “bad” does exist in our fallen world, and late in breaking the waves it takes two malevolent forms. one is the increasing debility of jan’s mind, damaged by injury, further stressed by surgery, and fogged by medications and sedatives. the other force of evil takes human form: a sadistic sailor (udo kier) on a dilapidated ship that bess visits on the lookout for sex. her first encounter with him is so terrifying that she flees for her life; her second is a deliberate choice, meant to punish herself. played with disturbing power by kier, a scoundrel specialist who was already a veteran of von trier films, the sailor is among the most sinister figures in all cinema. he erases the last vestiges of bess’s physical and spiritual equilibrium, providing the film’s one instance of completely unambiguous badness .
all of this is chronicled during the first 80 minutes of white bird in a blizzard in a way that is bound to make you feel emotionally detached from the characters and their behavior onscreen. but as i’ve come to realize over repeated viewings, this is not a storytelling flaw. in fact, the picture is putting you in the same psychological state of its protagonists: alienated, confused and searching for meaning. it isn’t until the devastating conclusion—in which sex is conveyed as an honest, poignant form of human connection for the first time in the film, between two men, no less—that everyone’s emotions come into fruition, leaving the viewer engulfed in as much blistering heartache as the characters themselves. it’s a scorching commentary on how gender and sexuality are vital factors in establishing our personal identities, but also how those factors shouldn’t define how we are viewed in society as a result .
when it comes to exploring themes on sexuality in film, few contemporary auteurs have been more radical, and more divisive, than gregg araki. a pivotal figure in the new queer cinema movement during the early 1990s, and highly considered to be the “bad boy” of the bunch, araki made raw, rebellious cult movies early on in his career that were praised by some and abhorred by others, such as the living end (1992), totally fucked up (1993) and the doom generation (1994). he also directed what i consider to be one of the best films of the 2000s, mysterious skin (2004), based on a novel of the same name by scott haim, which tells a tragic, gut - wrenching story of how the lives of two young men are traumatically affected as a result from being sexually abused by their baseball coach when they were only eight years old .
in a nod to the nineteenth - century novel, which it resembles in its narrative sweep and psychological detail, breaking the waves is divided into chapters, each of which begins with a burst of vintage 1970s pop music (courtesy of leonard cohen, david bowie, rod stewart, and others) and a tableau that introduces the prevailing mood and atmosphere of the scenes we’re about to see. unlike the seven earlier chapters, the epilogue has two tableaux, one at the beginning and a second one—the most exalted and astounding of them all—at the end. since the final tableau is the last shot of the movie, it initially seems more like a farewell than an introduction to something. actually, however, it is very much a portent of the future—it’s a foretaste of what comes after the film, after we’ve watched breaking the waves for the first or fifth or umpteenth time. and what comes after the movie is the rest of our own lives .
breaking the waves is not an exercise in style, though. it’s a journey into the human heart, so the story and characters are what matter most. watson plays bess mcneill, an innocent young woman who lives on an island off scotland’s northern coast, where the inhospitable climate and landscape are matched by the stony joylessness of the inhabitants. their chief gathering place is an austere little church where only men are allowed to speak and the pastor has few skills beyond denouncing sinners from the pulpit and presiding over funerals where the souls of erring women are consigned to hell as their coffins are lowered into the grave. the film begins with a close - up of bess answering questions from the church elders about her impending marriage to jan, an outsider who works on an offshore oil rig. “i do not know him, ” the minister says, instantly suspicious of an unfamiliar name—and we notice that the scene never shows bess and the churchmen together on the screen. the showdown that propels the entire story—with bess and jan on one side and virtually everyone else on the other (save for bess’s sympathetic sister - in - law, played by katrin cartlidge, and dr. richardson, played by adrian rawlins) —is set on a hair trigger from the very first shots .
