Dogville
Dir.Lars Von Trier US 2004  
Von Trier (Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark) examines small town hypocrisy in this depression era tale of an isolated community. Tom Edison (Paul Bettany), who fancies himself the conscience of Dogville, discovers Grace, (Nicole Kidman) a young women escaping a dangerous past. The ŗgood" people of Dogville decide to harbor the fugitive but in time their true-colors are exposed. The men in town brutalize her, the women castigate her as a whore and Tom, who professes his love for her, sits by without intervening. Only when the gangsters arrive back in town will Gracešs fate truly be decided. Told in nine chapters with a prologue, complete with narrator and a set composed only of a chalk drawing, Dogville comes off like the dark side of Thorton Wilderšs classic tale, Our Town. (178m)
