Review of Dogville (2003) by David S — 29 Oct 2009
Nobody can stir up conflict quite like Lars von Trier, but nobody can make a film quite like him either. I knew very little with what to expect going into this this film the first time around, but after I witnessed it I was amazed.
It's interesting to me how Trier stripped everything down to next to nothing and relied on the actors talent to tell the story. In modern cinema, it's a rarity to see a film without special effects, but for someone to go a step further and actually leave things to the viewers imagination is completely refreshing.
Everyone may have their own opinion or critiques of Lars von Trier and his works, but this movie works very well and is unlike anything you've probably ever seen. I guess this may be a love it or hate it experience, but I don't understand what's not to love.
