why Dancer In The Dark is postmodern
- Dancer in the Dark is Meta fiction by deals with the conflict between fantasy and reality. this is highlighted by Selma’s musical daydreams by using colors to bright and exaggerated symbolizing her fantasy, whilst reality is painted in brown and grey colors.
- It is fragmented by being broken up into parts that question the viewer in what they are actually watching, is it a musical? or a indie film? for the way it is weird camera angles and close ups.
- it is mise-en-abyme by Selma's day dreams of hearing the hum of factory machinery and combine into an orchestra of sounds that makes the musical aspects for the viewer to enjoy.
- Pastiche - by using songs from The Sound of Music like the song My Favorite Things, So Long, Farewell and Climb Every Mountain, then take inspiration from other musicals for the dance and song numbers.
- It is self reflexive by acknowledges the music is artificial and doesn’t seem fit into the typical musical film the viewers are use to,
