Title: Ambitious story-telling....
Product review: Having watched 'Dogville' I was impressed by the methodology used to tell the story. It was ambitious achievement by the director but ultimately I felt the pace of the film to be ponderous and pretentious. What annoyed me most was the narration to the story which grated me. I liked the idea of the story-an almost Kafka like merger of fable and artistic license. But unfortunately relating this to film proved too difficult to achieve and what we end up with is something that fails to deliver.A valiant attempt at creating something different, worth watching for the innovative filming techniques but as a movie it just does not work for me.As for the criticisms of being anti-american, well the thought never crossed my mind because the setting could be anyway in the world. The story is a fable of human conditions and failings whatever nationality.
