Von Trier’s _Dogville_ just came out on import DVD, so I’ll probably order it since from what I’ve been reading it seems it may never get released in the U.S. Damn shame, he’s a brilliant filmmaker.

My exact thoughts, I thought the music was incredibly well done… that is what really drew me into the movie, and by the end… my fiance and I were both in tears and had no idea what to say to each other…

Not a very good “date rental” if you ask me… lol…

I agree **merge** , I wouldn’t want to watch this with a date.  
I wont even watch it with my wife, it’s almost too personal.
