Not Coming to a Theater Near You
There are things you do hate, Lord. Perfume-smellin’ things, lacy things, things with curly hair.

There is a central conceit within Lars von Trier’s second film subscribing to the ‘Dogma 95’ manifesto, and it’s little to do with the production values of the movie. The group of individuals pretending to act like “spasses” (that is, retards) are only able to challenge and reject the bourgeois, middle-classes they despise because they themselves are bourgeois and middle-class. “The Idiots” are therefore just another clique in the MTV generation—albeit a middle-class, cultured one. For who does the majority of music on the station cater for other than teenagers simultaneously rejecting and taking advantage of their own social circumstances for no discernible reason?
