I saw "Dogville" on the weekend, and I would very much like to talk with any who have seen this film. It was directed by Lars Von Trier, I think, and stars Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany and a few other notables.
This film was unlike any I'd seen before. It was my first Lars Von Trier film. It was set on a stage. It was very much like watching a staged play on film. The aspect I liked about this the most is that it made the performances of the actors much more raw and unhindered. There was no music or special effects in the film. It's success was predicated on the depth of the script and the acting.
At this point I haven't decided if I liked the film or not. But one thing is clear - I haven't stopped thinking about it since I rented it on Saturday.
I'm positive there's more to this film in terms of theme than 'do unto others as you'd have them do to you'. Is it a biopic on society at large? American rural society?
I'd love some feedback from those that have seen this film. I'm going to go over to
www.movieforums.com to see what they thought as well...
