Review of Dogville

Dogville (2003)
The most pretentious film I have ever seen
5 March 2004
Just back from "watching" Dogville - in quotes because it didn't feel like I was watching a film. It felt like I was taking part in some form of torturous endurance test.

Simply put, it's the most pretentious pile of utter rubbish I have ever had the misfortune to watch.

Great acting, blah blah blah, great script, blah blah blah, cutting-edge film-making, blah blah blah, serious critique of American values, blah blah blah. More like utterly banal and so full of itself that I'm surprised the actors didn't explode from gorging themselves on the scripts over-inflated sense of self-importance.

The summing-up by the voiceover at the end made me almost literally wretch. DIE LARS VON TRIER DIE!
