Dogville Confessions

A powerful, absorbing documentary on the creation of Lars von Trier's fascinating drama “Dogville”starring amongst others Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany, Stellan Skarsgård, Ben Gazzara, Lauren Bacall and James Caan. For most people, simply seeing the behind-the-scenes footage in this documentary will be a delight. But it also provides a much deeper look inside the world of filmmaking including some moments of insight that are hard to believe. This documentary combines exclusive interviews with footage shot on location in winter covered Sweden e.g. from special made confession boxes as seen in Catholic churches. In these 'boxes of truth' all actors and von Trier during the whole shooting process talked, cried, laughed, sung and confessed directly to the camera. DOGVILLE CONFESSIONS contains deleted scenes from the feature film, a look inside the mind and character of von Trier, Nicole Kidman, Paul Bettany and other star actors, and the many problems and great successes that were encountered.
