The Idiots (Idioten Dogma #2, directed by Lars Von Trier) [All-region Korean import DVD]

ever heard of DOGMA 95? or perhaps you did but you are still wondering what is this all about. To put it in a nutshell is the film devoid of elaborate special effects or technology. IDIOTEN gives you the chance to be acquainted with this movement, that for those interested in cinema aesthetics, is A MUST. The STUDIO SYSTEM is no welcome here. Am sure it is worth being watched & re-watched.

Love this film, it's hilarious and shattering and extremely controversial (as with many Lars von Trier films). Dogme #2/The Idiots is a wild ride and I am so happy to own it since it's really hard to find any other way

After years of waiting, I finally ordered VonTrier’s “Idioterne.” Then I waited a full month . ..waited as this film moseyed all the way from THE NETHERLANDS to my home in sleepy Shreveport, Louisiana. The Idiots was. the Only Dogme’95? film Lars Von Trier’s bothered to even film. The fact that Lars, after having painted himself into a corner, I think the Only way to make a fearless Comedy in an effort to make a deliriouslyfunny., exercise in filmmaking as one of the only directors still with us. The Idiots is undoubtedly , in my own opinion, HILARIOUS...then, sans Thomas Wittinbergb( and a few leftover directors signed on the Dogme 95 Cinematic Commandments was prove to themselves they can make a more personal, intellectually stimulating and then true to the Great Dane’s restless soul, burning bright, white light...Von Trier suddenly decided his own truly singular and , seriously Artistic movement.Dogme, for Lars Von Trier, was history . The whole point of the stringent guidelines , the whole movement itself, began to stifle Von Trier , then in his fertile imagination—The very structure of. Von Trier’s imagination, Unbridled force of nature is—He’d simply outgrown —The Artist he was. Ya know...Certain peoples are either gifted with a special innate appreciation...an inherent consciousness of particular Artists. He may provoke you,. Don’t get angry. Idiots is okay, it’s fun....If ya want to see/hear/EXPERIENCE a True artist at work....BREAKING THE WAVES, in my opinion—is HANDS DOWN—the single greatest film 🎞 of the the 1990’s! —todd gold

Anyone with a fascination for strange and discomfiting cinema should see The Idiots. For me it's a bit like Lars Von Triers having a go at Even Dwarfs Started Small. There are a few moments, especially the final scene; where a strong Mike Leigh flavor comes through. Honestly, the middle section of this film was really difficult for me to watch. Sometimes I would only watch 5 minutes and have to stop and digest / shake it off. Not that that's a bad thing; since I consider it a worthy barometer of my own preconceptions and programming. Certainly worth seeing.

This version ( only available in this non- US coded DVD;I bought a region-free DVD just because I wanted to see his vision)is uncut and represents the Dogme95 ethos as Lars envisioned it.Whether you like it depends on what you think of the particular film theory.

Worked perfectly good movie also very strange but well directed I liked the ending. Pretty disturbing great series by lars von trier

This version of "Idiots" notably differs from descriptions of the movie offered elsewhere. I suspect it has been heavily cut to something like a PG13 version for the Japanese market.

Very good film.
