The TVI Take

Lars von Trier's 2003 Brechtian-experimental film anchored by Nicole Kidman as a woman seeking refuge in a small Rocky Mountain town in the 1930s. The structural commitment to the chalk-line-on-soundstage set design (no actual houses, only outlined floor plans) is the catalog's most-formally-distinctive choice.

Polarizing on release; subsequently canonized as the catalog's most-thematically-direct allegorical work.
