Dogville (2003)

Irresponsible Ending

[1/10 · 2 July 2003]

This film is style over substance and only midly amusing if one ignores the misogyny. But the closing credits, using those real photos with that David Bowie song, were pure exploitation. I have no problem with cinematic attacks on US politics, but why go after the poor, as if they had a say in US policy? Lars von Trier should watch the documentary STRANGER WITH A CAMERA (by Elizabeth Barrett) before he makes another horrible mistake.

It's All About Love (2003)

awful

[1/10 · 2 July 2003]

What a dreadful little film. If you make it all the way through to the end, and many did not, the "touching" ending turns out to be quite comical, but it's still not enough to make this film worthwhile.
