The second film in Lars von Trier’s USA trilogy, Manderlay picks up almost immediately where Dogville left off, with Grace (now played by Bryce Dallas Howard) discovering an Alabama plantation where, 70 years after the end of the Civil War, slavery is still practiced behind closed doors. While Dogville was about greed overtaking an altruistic attempt at democracy, Manderlay is about forcing democracy on those who have never made a decision for themselves. The stellar cast, including Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe, and Lauren Bacall, tells a story that shifts from a critique of the institutional ideology of slavery to a broader observation of a social system that creates oppression. 2005, Denmark, color, 5mm, 1 9 minutes.
