Summary:
In this film, "made in accordance with the rules of the Dogma '95 Manifesto, which prescribes an excitingly radical new approach to filmmaking, Von Trier, director of 'Breaking the waves, ' has fashioned a truly original and thought-provoking piece of cinema. Following the exploits of a group of people who release their 'inner idiot, ' thus engaging in recklessly outrageous behaviour, 'The idiots' explores the relationships and motivations of those in the group and the subversive effect that they have on society at large. Furiously inventive, wickedly funny, and genuinely moving"--Container.
