Manderlay Lars von Trier 2005 Denmark / Sweden / Netherlands / France / Germany / UK (1st time; big screen) Grace and her father arrive in Manderlay, which, 70 years after the abolishment of slavery, blacks are still kept as slaves… The novelty of Dogville's minimalistic sets has worn off, it would seem, though von Trier is still able to accumulate and emotional and dramatic undercurrent as the film goes on. America is still his easy target, but this is a complex film, full of effortless shots and edits which evoke the rarest of emotions. It is at its best when confronting the complexities of its characters, such as when Grace masturbates over the black men we can see but she can only desire, or when she finally gives into her sexual urges and finds it as painful as it is pleasurable.
