  • Rethinking Human Essence and Social Relations from Dogville
    Journal of Sociology and Social Work June 2021, Vol. 9, No. 1, pp. 32-36 ISSN: 2333-5807 (Print), 2333-5815 (Online) Copyright © The Author(s). All Rights Reserved. Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/jssw.v9n1a4 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/jssw.v9n1a4 Rethinking Human Essence and Social Relations from Dogville Paulo Alexandre e Castro1 Abstract One of the main reasons why Dogville (2003), by Lars Von Trier became a famous film, was the way it was filmed, that is, the way Lars Von Trier created a totally new aesthetic in filming, by providing a scenario that represents reality. In fact, this is the right word, scenario, but it‟s not just that. With this particular way of filming, Lars Von Trier provides also a particular way of thinking, that is, he ends up reproducing the way of seeing with the imagination: creating presence in the absence, as happens when we remember a deceased relative or when we create artistically. In Dogville there is no room for imagination. In this sense, we argue that this film represents contemporary (alienated) society where everything has its value and ethical / moral values are only manifested paradoxically as a reaction. Dogville becomes also an aesthetic educational project since it provides an understanding of human condition and human nature. For this task we will make use of some major figures from contemporary philosophy and sociology Keywords: Lars Von Trier; Human nature; Subjectivity; Values; Violence; Dogville; Society. 1. Introduction: Lars Von Trier and Dogma95 challenge Making movies is not making beautiful movies.

  • Nature and the Feminine in Lars Von Trier's Antichrist
    PARRHESIA NUMBER 13 • 2011 • 177-89 VIOLENT AFFECTS: NATURE AND THE FEMININE IN LARS VON TRIER’S ANTICHRIST Magdalena Zolkos [Of all my films] Antichrist comes closest to a scream. Lars von Trier INTRODUCTION / INVITATION: “THE NATURE OF MY FEARS”1 Lars von Trier’s 2009 film Antichrist, produced by the Danish company Zentropa, tells a story of parental loss, mourning, and despair that follow, and ostensibly result from, the tragic death of a child. The film stars two protagonists, identified by impersonal gendered names as She (Charlotte Gainsbourg) and He (Willem Dafoe). This generic economy of naming suggests that Antichrist, in spite of, or perhaps because of, the eschatological signification of its title, is a story of origins. Antichrist stages a quasi-religious return (within the Abrahamic tradition) to a lapsarian space where the myth of the female agency of the originary transgression,2 and the subsequent establishment of human separateness from nature, are told by von Trier as a story of his own psychic introspection. In the words of Joanne Bourke, professor of history at Birkbeck College known for her work on sexual violence and on history of fear and hatred, Antichrist is a re-telling of the ancient Abrahamic mythology framed as a question “what is to become of humanity once it discovers it has been expelled from Eden and that Satan is in us.”3 This mythological trope grapples with the other-than-human presence, as a demonic or animalistic trace, found at the very core of the human.4 At the premiere of Antichrist at the 2009

  • Dogme 95 and the Representation of Reality Zsolt Gyenge Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (Hungary) Email: [email protected]
    Acta Univ. Sapientiae, Film and Media Studies, 1 (2009) 6979 Illusions of Reality and Fiction or the Desired Reality of Fiction: Dogme 95 and the Representation of Reality Zsolt Gyenge Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design, Budapest (Hungary) email: [email protected] Abstract. The paper identies a two channel strategy developed by the authors of the Danish Dogme lms having as goal the generation of the illusion of reality. The rst channel is aiming at the visual layer of the movies, which shows a rm decision to break with the style of the traditional ction lms. The second channel of this strategy is concerned with the narration of the lms. In this regard Dogme contrary to what had been declared in the Vow of Chastity chose one of the most popular lm and TV genres: melodrama. On the one hand Dogme lms created a highly self-reexive visual style and then they combined it on the other hand with a genre which calls for extreme audience identication. Documentarism and deeply conventionalized stories are put together in most Dogme lms to create the reality of ction. Movie is not an illusion states the Manifesto,1 and thus it makes us clear that the movement tries to say something about one of the major themes of cinema and lm theory (and of visual communication in general): the representation of reality. It is well known that the initiators of Dogme 952 1The two founding documents of the Dogme 95 are the Manifesto and the Vow of Chastity. Until recently they were to be found on the ocial website (www.dogme95.dk) of the movement, which in February 2009, during the nal revision of this paper, became unavailable.

  • Love, Faith and Spirituality in Von Trier's Breaking the Waves
    Journal of Religion & Film Volume 15 Issue 1 April 2011 Article 8 April 2011 In the Kingdom of Men: Love, Faith and Spirituality in von Trier's Breaking the Waves Ingrid Fernandez Stanford University, [email protected] Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf Recommended Citation Fernandez, Ingrid (2011) "In the Kingdom of Men: Love, Faith and Spirituality in von Trier's Breaking the Waves," Journal of Religion & Film: Vol. 15 : Iss. 1 , Article 8. Available at: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol15/iss1/8 This Article is brought to you for free and open access by DigitalCommons@UNO. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Religion & Film by an authorized editor of DigitalCommons@UNO. For more information, please contact [email protected]. In the Kingdom of Men: Love, Faith and Spirituality in von Trier's Breaking the Waves Abstract Rehabilitating Lars von Trier: The power of von Trier’s Breaking the Waves lies exactly in its irreducibility to a fixed interpretation. The director reconceptualizes the themes of spiritual devotion, faith and love in an unorthodox tale of the human struggle to find meaning and purpose in the world. The character of Bess allows us to penetrate into the innermost regions of the mind and affirms a humanistic approach to our relationship to ourselves and others. Von Trier places an individual’s actions as a form of development, a gesture towards transcendence that nonetheless exists within the mixture of banality and profundity that constitutes the world of man. This article is available in Journal of Religion & Film: https://digitalcommons.unomaha.edu/jrf/vol15/iss1/8 Fernandez: In the Kingdom of Men Introduction Lars von Trier’s Breaking the Waves has raised multiple issues and a considerable amount of controversy since its release in 1996.
