"Dogville" is a 2003 film directed by Lars von Trier. Set in a small, fictional town during the Great Depression, it tells the story of Grace, a woman on the run from gangsters. Seeking refuge, she arrives in Dogville, where the townspeople agree to help her in exchange for her labor. The film is notable for its minimalist stage design, with the town represented by chalk outlines on a bare stage. As the story unfolds, the townspeople's true nature is revealed, leading to themes of morality, exploitation, and the darker aspects of human behavior.
