New! Pick of the Week!

Pick of the week:
Lars Von Trier's "The Idiots" (VHS 2239)

I highly suggest EVERYONE check this out in Media Services at some point. From IMDB - "The group of people gather at the house in Copenhagen suburb to break all the limitations and to bring out the "inner idiot" in themselves". There really isn't much else to it, the movie is about a collective of people who "spass out" in public (meaning: act mentally handicapped). It is the second movie of the Dogme 95 movement, started by Lars Von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, a movement in film meant to show to "absolute truth" in its subjects. Dogme films must follow the "Vow of Chastity" (link), which states that shooting must be on location, the camera must be handheld, in addition to several other rules the director must follow.
