Lars Von Trier's MANDERLAY has a trailer for you!!!
Ahoy, squirts! Quint here with a trailer for the newest from Lars Von Trier. Some love him, some hate him, but regardless of your stance on Von Trier's work, you gotta admit the below trailer is very pretty and the cast looks swell, if only for Willem Dafoe and Danny Glover in his BELOVED/COLOR PURPLE mode. For those PC people or those faint of heart, be warned... there's enough use of the "N word" to make both Spike Lee and Quentin Tarantino blush in the below.
Hey Harry ... no idea if you're a fan, but I just spotted the trailer for
Lars Von Trier's Manderlay online. It's the sequel to Dogville and will be
playing at Cannes ... this is the film he butchered a donkey on screen for,
though he's apparently opted not to include the footage ... Trailer link
here:
CLICK IT HERE FOR VON TRIERY-GOODNESS!!!

Can't wait. Dogville was sweet.

I don't know what's wrong with this guy. I have no problem with intellectual arthouse movies but everythnig he did was way too "look-at-me-I'm-such-a-smartass-and-I'm-the-only-person-who-makes-good-movies-and-you-all-should-fuck-me-for-coming-up-with-the-idea-of-Dogma95" and...I just hate him. He is the Joel Schumacher of Arthouse movies!
-
Yes he does. Dogville was pretty interesting, but that was despite him, not because of him.

Well I don't like, and this is probably true for nearly everyone, when we have actors replace other actors for sequels. While I'm not surprised at all that Nicole Kidman isn't back, it's a bit confusing as Bryce Dallas Howard is notably younger than Nicole. Then again we have Chloe Sevigny and Lauren Bacall playing different characters than the first film, so continuity be damned.
Bryce is actually quite a remarkable actress and was the best, and almost the only noteworthy, part of The Village. I remember my skepticism when hearing that the daughter of Ron Howard was cast, but I've since learned that Shyamalan cast her before knowing she was his daughter.
I loved Dogville, I'm not sure where else von Trier needs to take the concept thematically though, slavery was certainly a part of Dogville just on a less literal level as it would be here, but I'm still game for this one and look forward to it. -

Dogville's "I watching a play at a theatre" smacked of a direct
by cymbol
But Dogville's story held it's own. Dancer in the Dark was terrible and Dogville was the better remake of Dancer in the Dark. Dancer in the Dark was about the death penalty, and Dogville took a damn long time to reveal in the end it was about the death penalty. Do people that vile deserve to live? Would you stop it after they put you through all that? It was an incredible ending. However, the direction didn't make or break the movie. The direction certainly broke Dancer. A musical with not one inspirational moment on film. Pure crap. I'm interested in the story for the next movie. But I'll never view a movie based on this director's "talent".

i can understand what you mean. Dogma was a movement against a certain way of making a movie and reduce everything to just plain content. For example to make everything "SIMPLE". And there are many rules to follow. The funny thing is that even Trier himself or others like Vinterberg don't always follow the rules 'cause it's hardly possible to execute a complete film in that way. I mean the Dogma style even refuse to use artificial light ?! It's so stupid. One of the reasons for Dogma was that other films are always done in the same way.(using artificial light, making all kind of tricks and FX, camera crane and whatever which would distract the audience from the content or intention of the film) Dogma style is like taking your camera(YES, ONLY CAMERA) and take your crew and film on real location. Nothing is artificial. It is as it is. Of course it's not always in that way. I think that's...uh well very European to force oneself such rules. It looks very idiotic. They claim to be free in a certain way but at the same time they're imprisoned in their own Dogma rules. (still you have to consider the fact that within the rules of Dogma you can still be creative just in different way and style)
Nevertheless i pretty liked Dancer in the Dark. -

But the bit at the end wher he's talking about how she'll have to change things reminds me of one of those "educational" films from Europe that the used to show on TV here in the UK when I was a kid.
I seem to remember John Hurt doing the voiceovers as well...
Anyway the promo for Worst Case Scenario on the same page is much better - I dunno what the hell it's about but anything featuring a combination of the Dutch hatred for Germany with Nazi zombies is bound to be a winner -
another 2, 3 weeks and I'll get to see the last Von Trier movie, and Cronenberg, Wenders, Egoyan, Allen, Jarmush, Van Sant next...
It's gonna be a good year in Cannes... -
The only Dogme95 film von Trier made was "The Idiots". Vinterberg made "The Celebration". All their other films did not adhere to the Dogme95 principles, and did not claim to. As for Bryce Dallas Howard replacing Nicole Kidman, it's not like this is an actual sequel to "Dogville". These films are allegories linked in theme, all centered around the archetypal Grace character. IT will probably make the whole thing more interesting by having different actors play Grace (which seems to be a popular move these days: witness Todd Solondz's "Palindromes" and Todd Haynes's "I'm Not There: A Supposition of a Film on Dylan").

Monkey Butler, what?
You mean despite the fact he wrote and directed it and made it one of the most original, daring and politically charged pieces of cinema in recent years?

Both Dancer in the dark and Dogville are not Dogme movies.. And the whole Dogme paradigme ended a little while ago so there will be no more dogme movies. Why is it so bad to try and experiment with the medium? - just because its not an american invention doesnt make it lame. Dogme shouldnt really be seen as 'rules' (because they were broken) but more a catalyst made to put focus on the story and the acting and NOT the all the considerations you would normally have production-wise (light, special fx) and to not just rely on cheap gimmicks like unneeded violence and carchases. I thought Dogme was a nice breath of fresh air to the international moviescene, and it certainly did wonders to the danish moviescene in particular. Not said that all movies should be this way, but some change once in a while is a nice thing. If you are openminded enough that is....

I've enjoyed several of von Trier's films (Riget most notably), but the man is in no way a genius - cinematic or otherwise. A lot of his films are utterly unwatchable shit, like Dancer in the Dark (die, Bj

It was. Von Trier and Vinterberg & Co never were very serious about the concept. It was just for fun. I like Von Trier's movies. He has the balls to make movies that are completely different from anything else. Not everything plays out perfectly, but at least it's something different.
-
If it weren't for "The Celebration," Dogme 95 would have been a copmletely useless movement. Hearing von Trier's blustery promotion for principles he rarely adheres to is really annoying. However, Dogville was a pretty good movie, if overlong, based on the excellent acting that von Trier usually elicits.
-
But not as good as Dear Wendy, the von Trier-penned, Vinterberg-directed film that played Sundance. Nevertheless, Dogville was one of the best movies I saw last year.

It seems the point of this movie is to show how tyranical even a good person like Grace can become.

These movies are not about the US! Von Trier has been quoted as stating the movie is more about Danish littlemindedness and the "dark" side of human beings in general, ie arrogance, fear, hypocrisy and antisocial behaviour. The only reason he based the triology in the US is because American critics banged on about him never being in the US and still making Dancer in the Dark based there. In order to counter this critism he decided to place all of his locations for the triology in the US, firing back that Hollywood produces a large number of movies annually which are set in other countries and cultures, of which they have never properly investigated, let alone visited. So stop taking it personally, he is trying to make another point
