edly he is becoming the leading name in eu- lars von trier and thomas vinterberg in Cannes
ropean film. The basic idea of “Dogme 95”
implied demolition of the authorities and the such a certificate is issued to authors who register and make a
collectivization of film as a copyrighted work movie in accordance to Dogme 95
which cannot and must not be associated Celebration – the first Dogme film
with only one name. However, the revolution A shot taken by lars von trier
devours only the ones who die for it, and the
ideologists occupy the key positions. It has November 2015
always been like that, hasn’t it? and there
is nothing wrong about it. These fellows
found a way in a Dadaistic manner to come
out of the anonymity, to offer new views and
to open opportunities in order to reach the
point that every artist aspires to reach, the
top.
essentially, “Dogme 95” was not some-
thing new. These rules had been described
and used by Francois Truffaut as early as in
the sixties. Woody Allen, Derek Jarman and
hundreds of others touch the aspects of this
Manifesto. Tonino Delli Colli, the legendary
italian cinematographer, in an edition of the
festival “manaki Brothers”, as a response
to the question how the Italian neorealism
was born, said: “we had no budget, we made
movies with no money. I used only a front
light above the camera. Some critics were
impressed by our poverty and said that we
are the creators of a direction called neoreal-
ism”.
Unlike lars von Trier, who abandoned the
Manifesto after the very signing and filmed
only one film that complies with the rules of
“Dogme 95” – the pornographic achievement
titled “idiots”, while in his most successful
moves “Breaking the waves”, “Dancer in the
Dark”, “Dogville”, “melancholia”, there is only
a little of “D” from the “Dogme 95”, Thomas
Vinterberg remained true to the concept and
greatly adheres to this concept to date.
however, twenty years later, “Dogme 95”
remains a bright spot in the recent european
film history. The wise ones even at that time
understood that every form of self-limitation
is senseless and unnecessary. However, to
many authors “Dogme 95” implies destruc-
tion of barriers and opening of new doors,
finding a spot under the densely populated
film heaven.
Today, to shoot a film according to “Dog-
me 95” is inappropriate and funny. However,
the wheel spins, new generations are on the
rise…
