Jann Ruyters asked about reactions to BREAKING THE WAVES.  There was a
rather detailed discussion of it at the time of the film's American
release (around December 1996/January 1997).  These comments are
collected at the gopher site that stores 'back issues' of SCREEN-L.
Lots of them are at the location below:

retrieve them are located at this address:
