Films & Architecture: "Dogville"

What if a movie is filmed in such a minimal way that your only reference is a plan view drawn on the floor. Then you would need to imagine all the missing information in a kind of mental extrusion of physicality. This is the way chosen by the Danish director Lars von Trier to represent a parable occurring in a fictional settlement in Colorado.

To reinforce this idea of such a surrealistic set, the inicial scene - an aerial approach to the village - was generated through digital models because of the impossibility to get a studio high enough to place the cameras. Enjoy this film and let us know your ideas about this influence of architectural representation into a movie set.
