Review of Manderlay (2005) by Pablo G — 02 Dec 2014
A sort of spiritual succesor to the wonderful film Dogville, Manderlay tells a story about slavery now with racism against black people as its main subject, in many ways surpassing its predecesor in many ways but failing in others.
Overall, the movie is not only 1 hour shorter than Dogville, but it also feels more focused and the political and social messages it sends are nicely told under a creative and entretaining plot filled with characters that coudlve been fleshed out way better, but ultimately serve their goal, all wrapped up nicely under Von Triers signature dramatic style and all the high points of a historical drama about slavery.
