I hadn't realized he was behind Dogville as well. Now, I only saw the last 20 minutes or so of it, but I thought it was atrocious. Like a bad high school play (redundant, I know).
Yes, it's great to know that someone, somewhere is trying to innovate, but to what end? I'd sooner have Von Trier and his ilk brainstorm ideas and send them off to more capable film makers. The intention is good, but the execution is lacking severely.
