Dogville

A barren soundstage is stylishly utilised to create a minimalist small-town setting in which a mysterious woman named Grace (Nicole Kidman) hides from the criminals who pursue her. The town is two-faced and offers to harbour Grace as long as she can make it worth their effort, so Grace works hard under the employ of various townspeople to win their favour. Tensions flare, however, and Grace’s status as a helpless outsider provokes vicious contempt and abuse from the citizens of Dogville.

‘For its exuberance and its difference, its fine performances and its devastating finale, Dogville is essential viewing.’ Will Self
