Yes, immediately.

shareIt is one of the most fcked up movies I have ever seen. Would not recommend. And I love Lars von trier
shareThere’s a surprise 🙄
shareWhy Tim? What's your opinion on dogville or Lars?
shareI think it’s a remarkable film. Completely original, utterly shocking, and magnificently staged. As a political statement I think it’s the most raw and unashamed critique of how Americans treat foreigners with mistrust and cruelty. The performances are uniformly excellent and Nicole Kidman gives an uncharacteristically subdued and devastating performance, the strongest of her career so far. And Lauren fucking Bacall, I mean, c’mon!! The juxtaposition of the bare stage and breathtaking CGI is inspired. Yeah, you could say I rate it as a masterpiece.
As for Lars, I usually find him a little heavy-handed as a director but with Dogville he was note perfect.
You made some good points and I agree here, I guess I was way too triggered by the abuse scenes, those overshadowed the whole other settings and themes for me.
shareI can understand that. They are harrowing. As are Grace’s instructions at the end of the movie. I literally get shivers thinking about it. Very few movies have had that lasting impact on me. That’s how I know it’s special.
