Dogville

Lars Von Trier might not be the best director ever although certainly one of but as the self proclaimed manipulator he is definitely the best in that in all cinema. Rewatching Dogville this time was wickedly ironic and painful since I know what was gonna happen by the midpoint of the film and it becomes obvious just how deceiving and malicious Trier conducted his story, actors and language towards a certain type of optimism that he trash and burn to a effective end. Just a phenomenal movie but much harder to bare even on a second watch, Trier let's you know this is a movie and thus there is nothing you can do about whats gonna happened and has happened and all you can do is be human and feel for yourself the film and all its offering of emotion. Mom's review: Painful and something I never wish to watch again. Trier's Dogville feels like a film that curse at the audience and its open ended questions make the wounds unhealing. This is a great film but not one I like very much, my mentor used to say the best people in the world can make the worst things in the world and in the case of this film here its clear Trier is that. The performances especially from Nicole Kidman is heartbreaking and fantastic, Dogville is painful and upsetting. Love the ideas a lot just really hard to endure.
