Dogville

Provocative and emotionally demanding, Lars von Trier's controversial allegory about the darker side of human nature and American arrogance has been likened to a hellish version of "Our Town." Into a small town - represented by chalk outlines and a few props - arrives a stranger (Nicole Kidman) in need of sanctuary. Initially welcoming, Dogville's citizens show their true colors once they listen to their paranoiac fears. This winner of more than 10 international awards costars Paul Bettany, James Caan, Patricia Clarkson and Lauren Bacall.
