Is the movie Dancer in the Dark available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime or Apple TV+?

At Stream Tracker, we shine a light on where to find films that live between shadow and song. Dancer in the Dark — Lars von Trier’s 2000 musical tragedy starring Björk as Selma, a Czech immigrant coping with impending blindness by escaping into private musical numbers — won the Palme d’Or at Cannes in 2000 and earned Björk the festival’s Best Actress prize. In this piece we’ll lift the curtain on the film’s current streaming status: is it available on Netflix, Disney+, Prime Video or AppleTV+? Read on for the latest platform-by-platform checks, quick search tips, and how to catch every haunting score and curtain call.

Synopsis

A Czech immigrant whose sight is failing scrapes together a living for herself and her young son, who has inherited the same genetic condition and faces the same grim prospect unless they can afford a prohibitively expensive operation. Besieged by bills and fear, she clings to hope in the only way she knows how: escaping into music. She transforms ordinary sounds and small moments into improvised musical reveries, using these bright, theatrical daydreams to carry them through the darker days.
