Watched this film today at markC's place...had the VCD b4 exams but didnt watch it till today. Don't really know what to think about the movie except tt it's quite disturbing? Interesting way of filming...u can see the whole town of Dogville like a monopoly board where there r no doors or windows and u can see what the whole town is doing.
To me it was disturbing cos of Nicole Kidman's role passivity as well as the dichotomous thinking along the lines of: (1) we have to be forgiving of men's wrong doing to the point of being totally submissive and passive (2) vengence where u have to avenge all wrong doing and the only way to deal with evil is to use evil.
Don't know if this was what the film was trying to get across. It seems to have deeper philosophical undertones in it. For those interested I can lend u the VCD...be prepared to spend at least 2hrs 40mins though and if u watch the confessionals that come with it...it'll be a further 55 mins.
