Icelandic singer-songwriter and artist Björk Guðmundsdóttir embarked on a brief but significant film career. Her most iconic and acclaimed role was that of Selma Ježková in Lars von Trier's musical drama *Dancer in the Dark* (2000). For this harrowing and intense performance, which earned her the Prix d'interprétation féminine at the Cannes Film Festival, she demonstrated an extraordinary ability to embody fragile yet resilient characters, often on the fringes of society.

Despite the success, Björk expressed difficulties with the acting process and limited her subsequent appearances. Notable among these are her artistic collaboration with Matthew Barney in *Drawing Restraint 9* (2005) and an appearance in *The Northman* (2022). Her acting style is characterized by raw emotion and a magnetic presence, making her a unique performer in the cinematic landscape.
