"The beautiful fugitive's name was Grace."

"Tom really was enchanted by this beautiful, mysterious creature."

"I think Miss Laura is something like what Ovid would call a Maenad."

I find Dogville lovely. It isn't minimalist crap. Well it's an interesting play and a nice original idea. The acting was solid, the narrator infused the film with a healthy sense of authority. May sound stupid putting a play on film but how many people can watch a play? 2-300? Movies give you thousands.

It's clever and not doesn't go out of its way to be deliberately obscurantist cum controversial (think IRREVERSIBLE). Will wait for Kill Bill 2 now.
