Manderlay... as life itself

Manderlay, a very good film, indeed. Sometimes, your everyday life changes a little bit if you feel concerned or sad about the problems you have to put up with, having
something else to worry about far more important than your little lonely life as anachronysms, death, killing, guilt, democracy, love, hate, parentship, labelling people... Today I have had the chance to think about these other worries, and to do this, Manderlay is a very good film to switch to other things. Very good performances, very good actors' direction, not to worry about any other distracting thing in the film than the film itself. The stage design looked as if it was set at one theatre.
Minimalist, only the relevant things are shown. And the music is so accurate and sensitive.
Lars Von Trier demonstrates that Dogma is not obsolete at all, and the more important thing of all: it has created its own school followed even though by TV series, as our glance at the film is more natural and obvious than it was 10 years ago.
