| Summary: | Lars Von Trier's movie, Dancing in the Darkness (2000), shows us elements to ponder over the dialogue between melodrama and tragedy. Studying the movie you are mainly benefited from the examination of the narrative and the trajectory of main character, Selma. Theoretical indication is determined by Raymond William's consideration (2002) and the possibility of thinking a modern tragedy, of the melodrama systematization led by Ivete Huppes (2000) and by Alvin Lesky's study of tragedy (1971). We understand that Selma's personality and actions are the synthesis of melodrama and tragedy bringing the tragic stile up to date. |
