I saw Dogville and am an appreciator of avante garde, independent film.  .and liked a few of Lars Von Trier's earlier fares but **this** was hard to sit thru. . 3 hours . .there were flashes of brillance but neither Blair nor Bacall are those moments unfortunately. . .Clarkson is very good as always, Kidman delivers an understated, affecting performance, Ben Gazarra is wonderful . .but overall Von Triers needs to find a **new** story . . . the same old same old about a woman being victimized over and over again is quite tiring.

The Irony . .Grayson's (Mia's) haircut returns?

That's supposed to be Angelique?

I concur. . .LP is unique looking. . who IS this supposed to be really?  The artiste blonde girlfriend?

shouldn't that be "Dr. Hoffman.  .. . ?"

LOL!! And Starring as Miss Milquetoast. . .

Midnite how funny about CS .. luv that movie.. .when he's entering the Disco.. .really the only film EVER that made my heart flutter and other  uh hum (cough cough) physical reactions. . .I watch CC occassionally and do like it but i hate how they OVER-RELY on music to set the era. . . they could be a little more creative there. . .it used to be the creative thing to do but now it seems easy or am i just too judgemental?  I am an ESTJ . .big J!

Prof Stokes and Cassandra picked a few of the scenes i would've listed.  I also think the scene where Magda learns about Jennie's children is very affecting .. .Grayson actually cried. . not glycerine or onion tears but real ones. . .good scene between her and Terry Crawford.

Ohh and for those of us at the Fest . ..when Carolyn reads Liz's will and realizes the truth about Vicki. . i think that got to a lot of us. . .Nancy Barrett was just amazing. . .
