Cinema Wednesdays - Eugène Praz
In 2003 Dogville by Lars von Trier. Set against a minimalist backdrop, it tells the story of young Grace (Nicole Kidman) who, fleeing gangsters, finds refuge with the inhabitants of a tiny, formerly mining town in the Rocky Mountains: Dogville. Here, in the harsh light and degrading humiliations - not for her, in fact, but for those who inflict them on her - she discovers the sordid depths of their souls. The revenge will be terrible. Whether judged or appreciated as divinely cynical or distantly realistic, Brechtian or Dürrenmattian, this work appears like a film noir in which the viewer is either the helpless detective or the complicit accomplice. People prone to misanthropy, please refrain.
