The fourth time I have seen this and **** the haters. This film gets better every time you watch it. If it was directed by anyone else other than Guy Ritchie then it would be taken more seriously.

Superb cinematography and editing and the music score works brilliantly. If this film was made by a first time director or even by someone like Lynch, then it would garner a lot more respect and despite its non linear plot it is far easier to decipher than say Mulholland Drive and makes a lot more sense too.

Brilliant. So much better than Spirited Away. 4/5

I love bleak Dystopian stuff, so I enjoyed it. The romance aspect felt a little underdeveloped and the film as a whole felt a little halfbaked. I might have to check out the book. There was definitely something missing, but it was well worth a watch. 3/5

Sounds like a watch to me. Ever seen this:


From Michael Winterbottom (24 hour party people).

I really enjoyed this, it's about a bunch of teenagers in Germany who were more into swing dancing and the music rather than becoming Hitler Youth.
Robert Sean Leonard is really great in it.

I haven't seen the movie but the book is great. It might have what you felt was missing in the movie.

One of the most interesting, unique and truly original films I've ever seen. From the moment it starts and you see the set design, you know Dogville will be like something you've never seen before - although at that point you aren't sure whether that would end up being a good thing or a bad thing. As the film goes on, it takes look at a small community and how a newcomer into their society is treated. Despite its minimalism and non-conventional style, it manages to create an unbelievably unsettling atmosphere. Although it could be misconstrued as Anti-American, and there are some things to suggest that, I don't think it's as specific as that. I think it's much more broad, it's a very msanthropic film. Grace's integration into Dogville is absolutely fascinating. Seeing how her situation changes, seeing how she interacts with people, seeing her frailty exploited. Her despicable treatment in Dogville is some of the most harrowing, disquiet and almost disturbing piece of cinema I have ever seen. Yet in its bleakness, I couldn't take my eyes off of it. It shows that all you need to create a piece of brilliance is some chalk, a script and near flawless acting.
