	Breaking The Waves     When von Trier decided the village idiot would marry the outsider, God decided   and silently retreated with the sea-ward wind from land to oilrig –   He came home sooner than anyone expected.   The accident was no one's fault if you believed chance meant nothing was watching over you.   A mystery: von Trier may or may not have tested God's love with a knife at His throat.   Another mystery: what was demanded? Speech or silence, and how do you tell them apart in the end?   The lovers would be separated for four weeks; the village idiot existing as body with its soul (the outsider) apparently missing   because the void demands what we allow ourselves to imagine is no longer; and the soul relents   as the wind sweeping back to sea –   The body does not forget the cold. The body turns to the sea: a few stars persisting under the dark surface.   Father, why have you abandoned me? Or is this your way of saying   you love so you have to give up what you love to live?
