Drama. Netherlands, Denmark, UK, France, Finland, Sweden, Germany, Italy, Norway 2003, 171 min. Directed by Lars von Trier. Starring: Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany, Patricia Clarkson, Ben Gazzara, Stellan Skarsgård, Chloe Sevigny, Lauren Bacall. In English with Russian subtitles. The gorgeous Grace is on the run from gangsters and is hiding in a small town called Dogville. But its residents, who previously welcomed her so warmly, soon turn out to be real monsters. They subject Grace to all kinds of mental torture – and the register doesn’t take pity on anyone, be it his actors or his audience. But Trier is a great trickster, so in the finale, the story once again turns in a completely different direction and blows away everyone who had the strength to sit till the end. Lars von Trier’s provocative masterpiece is being released anew. This uncompromising statement on human nature is just as shocking today as it was 15 years ago.
