Dancer in the Dark, shot in large part on digital video, works perhaps even better on DVD than it did in the cinema. The 2.40:1 widescreen picture is sharp and bold. Sound quality is superb, with Bjork's emotionally charged songs and the movie's dialogue and sound effects coming across dynamically on both the 5.1 and DTS audio tracks. Director Lars von Trier's artistic vision is not compromised in the slightest. The supplemental material is better than average, though judging by the press coverage of the rocky relationship between von Trier and Bjork, more behind-the-scenes footage would have been welcome. Two audio commentaries are available. The one shared by von Trier, producer Vibeke Windelov, artist Per Kirkeby, and technical supervisor Peter Hjorth is certainly interesting, though von Trier displays little of his usual hyperkinetic self-analysis. Choreography Vincent Paterson, who almost labels himself a co-director, provides insightful thoughts on the other commentary track. Paterson also dominates the two mini-documentaries. "100 Cameras: Capturing Lars von Trier's Vision" is perhaps too technical, but it's still worth a look for behind-the-scenes tidbits about pre-production of the train-based musical number. "Choreography: Creating Vincent Paterson's Dance Sequences" is overlong, but it entertains via its wealth of production footage. "Alternate Scenes" concentrates solely on the musical numbers, and there's not really enough variation from the final cut to provide much substance, but "I've Seen It All Version 3" entertains in its rapid-edit glory. The theatrical trailer is blurb-heavy and gives away far too many important plot points. "Selma's Music" provides much-needed instant access to the movie's nine musical numbers via song titles, while "Scene Selections" gives instant access to the DVD's 30 chapters via still frames and chapter titles. The interactive menus are stylish and appropriate to the movie's tone and bleak subject matter.
