Extremely interesting, but a bit unpleasant May 30, 2008
Jamie (Scotland)
This was a really good, inventive film that offers a different experience from the usual. Based in a basic set and with limited props the film moves at a pace which allows it to slowly gather menace. There are some unpleasant scenes which seem to be more shocking due to the basic style of the film, but I wouldn't suggest that this is any reason not to watch it. A fascinating film that will make more of an impression on you than the majority of special effect laden blockbusters will ever do!

Quirky little revenge comedy from the man that brought you the Rom-Com 'Breaking the Waves'. OK not all of this is quite true but if you spend your time watching this film trying, as Mr Von Trier may want you to do, to deconstuct or read into it various meanings you may miss out on enjoying an almost 'Kind Hearts and Coronets'-style revenge comedy with a blackly funny narration from John Hurt. Soon to be made into a musical featuring Claire Sweeney.

If I'd wanted to see a play, I'd have gone to the theatre. I have one comment only, I will never get back the time it took to watch this film, 3 hours of my life completely wasted
 Shocking! November 26, 2007

A very interesting film worth watching. The film is questioning the undefined rules of the society. What is the society governed by? Virtue? Power? Social goodness? Selfishness?The only one creature that detects the helpless girl arriving the town is the dog. The only living creature after she leaves the town is also the dog!The film carefully critisizes the human being and the evil in him/her. The closing remarks shows the homeless people living in America and the producer expresses his disbelief in the American dream. But I think there is a flaw there:
The reformers of Marxian economics always give example of Robinson Crusoe living on an island isolated from the society and base thier economical systems on that example. Marx critisizes them saying that the human can not be isolated from the economical and political system that he is surrounded by. In Dogville the small town is isolated from the outside world by its remoteness but it is well inside the capitalist society. This can be seen by the wage earners, shop kepers and monetary system. There is my hypothesis:
If this sequence of events had happened in a asocialist village none of this would happened. The new man created by the common good would not dream of taking advantage of a girl in the first place let alone systematically gang rape her! The members of the lower classes and the members of the working class of the capitalist society can be blamed for their evil doings but the working class itself can not be blamed. The class will rise from its ashes in the capitalist society and create a world of its own.
The final of the film easily give the audience a relief and sympathy for the poor girl but no! A new world should be created by the very people who we came to blame. With a compulsory (sic) revolutionary guidance.
Has to be one of the worst films ever-total rubbish! September 13, 2007

From the start I have to say that I do NOT like these airy-fairy productions, obviously unlike some reviewers including the so-called professional ones who found the DVD "Inspirational" "Intriguing" "Top Drawer" etc etc.Had I read anywhere that the film was set completely on a small open plan set which is probably aboy 100 metres by 50 metres in area, which has no solid structures of any kind,I would have saved my money.A complete waste of talent, this is absolute crap and I would put this in the Worse Top 5 films of all time for being boring.I now use the DVD for a coaster which is a better use for it.
