Stockholm Film Festival

A hyper-intelligent child who is slightly disturbed, playing with dolls in a dollhouse, cutting their heads off with nail clippers, That is how actor Stellan Skarsgard describes Lars Von Trier, in one of many memorable scenes in this documentary about the creation of the original and inventive Dogville
Sami Saif introduces us to actors like Lauren Bacall, who gets temporary blocked in her creativity when facing the extreme demands from Von Trier, and Nicole Kidman, who longs for her children and just wants to go home, puzzled but fascinated by the Danish director in a ''confession booth''
which most of all looks like an outdoor toilet, the actors open their hearts and confess their reactions about to think and react in new ways and challenging the unknown during the making of the film,
Of course, we also meet the big artist himself, walking and talking in the woods, Lars Von Trier again reinforces
the image of himself as a mystery child, the closest a human being could be to a Pandora's box.
