Dogville è una provocazione ambiziosa, un’accusa feroce ai valori sociali statunitensi, scritta e diretta da un uomo che non ha mai visitato gli USA. Con un cast stellare guidato da Nicole Kidman, l’epico dramma brechtiano di Lars von Trier è un’analisi cruda dell’ipocrisia e del pregiudizio.

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.

With a fire-and-brimstone performance from Timothy Spall and a shrewd, affable turn from Colm Meaney, this gripping work of historical fantasy imagines how mortal enemies might begin a dialogue. In a moving narrative, director Nick Hamm reflects on living for a cause bigger than any one man.
