I saw Dancer in the Dark and I was totally amazed by it. It’s such a strange and original idea, how he mixes fiction with musical sequences, and it’s very intense, I love it. I would say that The Wall, Fame and Dancer in the Dark are the three films that obsessed me as a teenager or young adult. Maybe it’s why I ended up doing a musical.
