I had heard a lot about this film without actually knowing what to expect from it. First, you see that there are almost no props used in this film - everything looks like were was supposed to be computer graphics that wasn`t created. Anyway the lack of insignificant objects helps to concentrate on the characters. Grace (Nicole Kidman) flees one night from gangsters into the quiet little town of Dogville and is given shelter there. As time goes by one can see that Dogville is not such a nice place after all. Tom, a young philosopher, does his best to help Grace under the hard circumstances but his best isn`t good enough. And in the end the world gets a bit better. At the moment when Grace entered the car in the end it was clear to me what the ending would be like but until when - I had not a single clue about that. A very powerful film by Lars Van Trier - a Danish dude who doesn`t like America although has never visited the country. And the film is quite hard to watch.
