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.
Before the global success of Parasite, Bong Joon Ho made his English-language debut with this high-concept vision of a world on the verge of collapse. Jump aboard with a monster ensemble including Octavia Spencer, Tilda Swinton, John Hurt & Song Kang-ho and let the clash of class hierarchies begin!
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.
