Dogma95: tudo é angústia

Abstract

Having as a parameter some concepts related to cinematography narratives and the inclusion of digital technology in film production, the text analizes four Denmark movies made under the rules of the Movement Dogma95: The Celebration, by Thomas Vinterberg (1998); The Idiots, by Lars Von Trier (1998); Mifune, by Soren Kragh-Jacobsen (1999); The King is Alive, by Kristian Levring (2000). We try to situate this movement as being a representation of the comtemporary cinema in relation to its singularity. Its difference is for being considered the last vanguard in the cinematography at the end of the twentieth century with a narrative built under rebelious tendencies called Classic Cinema, Hollywood Cinema, and Entertaining Cinema like Vertovs Kinos Filmes, The Italian Neo-Realism and The French Nouvelle Vague. These tendencies have strong influences over the movement. Another fact analized here are the themes chosen for each film, which raise questions related to a comtermporary subjectivity.
