Synopsis

In 1995 Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier and three other compatriots swore a vow of chastity', aimed at jolting the the movie industry around the world who had become stuck in the mire of slick, emotionally manipulative, high concept and bombastic film production. Their DIY approach, using handheld cameras, natural lighting and no soundtrack, spawned such films as Festen, The Idiots and Mifune, that shocked and inspired audiences everywhere. Penned in a lively, jargon-free style, this is a richly illustrative survey of the entire Dogme canon. B/w photos.'

[Stevenson's] overview of Danish society and culture, as well as the country's important filmmakers, producers, cinematographers, and studios, is invaluable for those interested in Copenhagen's hotbed of creativity. On this account, Dogme Uncut provides terrific contextual background--including the controversial workings and economics of the Danish Film Institute--for understanding the emergence of Dogme . . . . Dogme Uncut accomplishes a worthwhile task in cataloguing almost every Dogme release and introducing the (often unknown) filmmakers behind them. -- Film Comment
