DOGVILLE 

DOGVILLE

I went and saw this movie last night. Don't. It's truly awful.
The camera work is deliberately unsteady. If you're sitting close to the screen, it will introduce nausea. I'm sitting there sweating, trying not to look at the screen in case I puke. Not much fun when you're in the middle of the row, somewhere near the front.
It's a play that's been filmed, and it shows. Very hammy lovies acting it up. The only character that comes across as well acted is James Caan.
The best bit, the end. The residents are all bumped off, and its the best part of the film because you don't care for them at all, and because you can leave the cinema.
The only other saving grace, the music.
