Dogville


Being home alone last night gave me a chance to watch a film at random. Thanks to Ruth who lent it to me.

The film is intruiging, boring, fascinating, though provoking, and shocking.

It is a lot about Grace - both the name and the idea. Same link as in the U2 song of the same name...

Grace - its a name for a girl
It's also a thought that can change the world

At times the grace is so great that the undeserving recipients accuse Grace of being arrogant. Interesting thought...

In the end grace stops and something else happens - even that has biblical overtones.

I like this film a lot - but I thought the ending was superfluous. It felt tagged on, contrived and somehow didactic.

This (Dogville) was the subject of Rob's last post about a year ago, you might fancy a look at that. I've still not seen the film, but it is on the list.
