A withering indictment of American social values, written and directed by a man who has never set foot in America, Lars von Trier’s Dogville is an ambitious provocation. With an all-star cast led by Nicole Kidman, this epic Brechtian drama is a raw examination of small-town hypocrisy and prejudice.

Dies ist der erste Eintrag Lars von Triers in seine Golden-Heart-Trilogie, gefolgt von The Idiots und, dem Gewinner der Goldenen Palme, Dancer in the Dark. Mit am Start ist auch Emily Watson mit einer kompromisslosen Performance. Breaking the Waves bleibt einer seiner größten Werke!

A difficult yet rewarding film from the equally complex Danish provocateur Lars von Trier! This fiercely polemical, little-seen sequel to Dogville tackles a topic as sensitive as slavery, all the while maintaining its predecessor’s Brechtian premise, anti-American bent, and yes, its brilliance.
