Warning: Spoiler and eulogic praise again. Do not read if you hate hype.

Dogville dies in dramatic denouement. Gosh I love this film. I had to break it up in parts but it was heart-rending at time, and "fuck you" and cathartically satisfying at others, though morally it leads to a dead-end. It's really great cause it's so original, which many films try to be but by some stroke of luck this pulls it off because it isn't original for the sake of being original. like ermm, yes... stylistically it varies but it has this sense of tradition and gravitas and it has the dramatic elements of a good old fashioned story, which is what most likable things are about. characters and story. can't wait for the rest von Trier's so-called "american trilogy"

the slide show at the end is genius too imho.
