Movie #317 "Dogville" is one of the oddest films I've ever seen. It is staged like a play (such as Our Town) with minimal amount of furniture and sound effects --- no doors, no streets, we are talking minimal. Besides that, the show is full of really strange people --- make that creepy people walking around this town. So when they take Nicole Kidman in, is there any wonder that they treat her like a dog, including putting a dog collar on her to keep her restrained in her room? But wait until you see the shocking ending to this --- very powerful, and again very weird. All in all, this is one of the strangest, and one I'm still thinking about --- it's pretty violent and disturbing in some of the scenes, so I wouldn't recommend it to everyone, at all! But there was something about it (that same something that keeps us attentive to accidents and ambulances) that kept me glued to my seat!
