Dogville

Yesterday I watched Dogville, a really incredible movie! It´s all about the feelings and actions of the people who live in a small village, when they receive a strange woman who is hiding from something they don´t know. The circunstances, fears and opportunities, gradually change the way they interact with the woman and the movie was able to focus on this change, by using an incredibly minimalistic scenario, with houses indicated only by drawings in the black stage. Indeed, all the movie is minimalistic... Before this movie, I knew of minimalism only in music.

There is a great dialogue about morality and arrogance in the end of the movie, which I still don´t understand quite well. So I´m thinking to watch this movie again (and I almost never watch something twice...).

And the best of all is that this movie is just the first of a trilogy! I hope the other two are so good, disturbing and inovative as this one.

The director, Lars von Trier, also did Os Idiotas some time ago, following the rules of the Dogma movement. But I really hated it, when I watched it with some friends in ITA.
