First of all, although I think she's enormously overrated, Nicole Kidman can be good. I was interested in seeing "Dogville." I knew that the filmmaking techniques used were atypical of what we normally see, even in independent cinema.
I started the movie and quickly got annoyed at people opening doors that didn't exist, at people reacting to sounds that the viewer doesn't hear, at the narrator telling us every detail of the story, at the set, which is an odd configuration of the existent/non-existent.
More than slightly annoyed, I checked out the running time. 177 minutes. I looked at my DVD player. 12 minutes. I turned it off.
