Dogville

I saw Dogville this afternoon. While I wasn't prepared for the 3 hour commitment, I have to say it was a really good film. Disturbing and an interesting window on how other parts of the world may view us, it is also a a mirror for which we can view human nature.

Nicole Kidman does an incredible job as a woman on the run, taken in by a town in the American Rockies "Dogville" . Like a version of "Our Town", the story scenes take place on a single set, with imaginary walls, and doors, and painted text directing us around the town. The cast is impressive, with Hollywood legends Lauren Bacall, and James Caan. and a cast that includes Blair Brown, John Hurt and Patricia Clarkson.

I recommend everyone see it. You'll Cringe and laugh and in the end feel more aware for having seen it.
