After sitting through the absolutely insulting Breaking the Waves, I had just about enough of Dogma 95. I did a little research on it, and my interpretation is that a bunch of pretentious film makers wanted to break traditional molds by creating a list of dos and do nots. As soon as they set out to make movies under these rules, they broke most of them. Whatever.
I don't need to be playing hide and seek with my movies (Lookey), nor do I want my framing chosen at random by a computer with no sense of aesthetic value (Automavision). Perhaps when someone realizes a greater use for these sort of things I will accept them, but for now I say, "bah".
