ANGELIKA’S NOTE

"Brilliant and infuriating, wise and naïve, outrageous yet unforgettable," (New York Daily News). Academy Award nominated Director/Writer Lars Von Trier's DOGVILLE follows a woman on the run from the mob, who is reluctantly accepted in a small Colorado community in exchange for labor, but when a search visits the town she finds out that their support has a price. This Cannes, Telluride, Sundance and Toronto International Film Festival Official Selection features an acclaimed performance from Nicole Kidman, and was heralded by the Los Angeles Times as "intriguing," "provocative" and "beautifully luminous."

SYNOPSIS

A barren soundstage is stylishly utilized 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 harbor Grace as long as she can make it worth their effort, so Grace works hard under the employ of various townspeople to win their favor. Tensions flare, however, and Grace’s status as a helpless outsider provokes vicious contempt and abuse from the citizens of Dogville.
