Dogville

Grade: C

Premise: Chick is escaping from gangsters and ends up in a freaky little town.

This is a serious marathon movie (3 hours) that doesn't get particularly interesting until the end. The actors are pretty good in this. The story is very forward moving and is told like a children's storybook (with narration). The set is a big black set with the outline of buildings drawn in chalk on the ground. Worth seeing if you are into HIGHLY arty movies...probably couldn't sit through it otherwise. More like seeing a play on film than an actual movie.
