Quotes about Dogville




View Quote God only knows what that woman's capable of. Chuck
View Quote Grace: Don't be upset. I'm sorry if I doubted you. It won't happen again. I promise you.
Chuck: I wouldn't make that promise if I was you. When you fended me off, a thought came into my mind that made me ashamed. A thought that you would hate me for.
View Quote Grace: So I'm arrogant. I'm arrogant because I forgive people?
The Big Man: My God. Can't you see how condescending you are when you say that? You have this preconceived notion that nobody, listen, that nobody can't possibly attain the same high ethical standards as you, so you exonerate them. I can not think of anything more arrogant than that. You... you forgive others with excuses that you would never in the world permit for yourself.
View Quote Grace: The people who live here are doing their best under very hard cir****stances.
The Big Man: If you say so, Grace. But is their best really good enough? Do they love you?
View Quote Grace: You can see through it all, can't you. I'll tell you, I'm gonna be asleep in two minutes.
Tom: What if I don't want you to go to sleep?
Grace: I don't think you have a choice tonight.
View Quote Grace: Are you trying to say that you're in love with me?
Tom: No I wouldn't... love is...It's not... It's a big word... yeah. Yeah.
Grace: That's good, because I think that I am in love with you, too.
View Quote Has rarely been far from my mind in the 10 months following Cannes, during which time it has grown only richer, deeper and more complex than I initially estimated. Scott Foundas in L.A. Weekly
View Quote I think you have plenty to offer Dogville. Tom to Grace
View Quote I wasn't trying to fool anyone. Grace
View Quote If there is any town this world would be better without, this is it. Grace
View Quote Is there another way? Grace
View Quote It stalks silently, stark with its minimalism at first, and then pounces unexpectedly with an overwhelming wash of emotion like a rabid animal, with sharp piercing teeth. Michael Szymanski at Zap2it.com
View Quote It would take a true knucklehead not to understand that Dogville isn't so much Anywhere, U.S.A., as anywhere. It really is a masterpiece — von Trier's first, as it happens. Glenn Kenny at Premeire magazine
View Quote It's a pity that the political point-scoring at Cannes, admittedly fired up by Von Trier's provocateur stance, has diminished the perception of Dogville's artistic worth. Dogville is daunting, non-naturalistic and bold. Von Trier has denied it was intended as an antithesis of Billy Wilder's Our Town; his concerns in the film are bigger than America-bashing. It's a moral parable for our times. Mary Colbert
View Quote Please don't disappear, Tom. I need you. Grace
