Set in an American town in the Rocky Mountains
in the 1930s, Lars von Trier's Dogville re-explores the concept
of goodness, but this time in an idiom very different from that of
his Gold Heart Trilogy (Breaking the Waves, The Idiots
and Dancer in the Dark).

Dogville is shot exclusively in studio with a minimum
of props, once again allowing the cast maximum freedom and full
exposure inspired by televised theatre of the 70s.

In Dogville, Trier works extensively with light, sound,
score and music to obtain and heighten dramatic atmosphere.
