Lars von Trier is the enfant terrible of world cinema — an experimenter and conceptualist, a trickster and provocateur, a dark genius and “the best director on Earth” (according to von Trier himself, of course). Dogville is one of his most acclaimed and, at the same time, most radical works.

And how relevant it still is! A meticulous exploration of social dynamics and, as is typical for von Trier, the darkest corners of the human psyche. It’s earned its place at the top of countless lists of the most important films of the 21st century.

We’ll be watching this controversial film — and during the talk with film expert Pavel Orlov, trying to figure out who Lars von Trier really is.
