LVT's MANDERLAY

Lars Von Trier's "MANDERLAY" is to be shown at Cannes 05.

Manderlay
The story continues from the point where Grace left Dogville. We follow her and her father as they come to Manderlay, a plantation in Alabama where they witness the horrors and injustice of slavery, which compels Grace to intervene.

+ Director cuts dead donkey scenes
Danish director Lars Von Trier has cut scenes of a butchered donkey from his forthcoming movie, bowing to pressure from animal rights campaigners.

Others in the cast: Willem Dafoe, Danny Glover, Lauren Bacall, Jeremy Davies, Udo Kier and Chloë Sevigny.

The USA trilogy ( Dogville, Manderlay and Washington ) is based on Jacob Holdt's (above, left) book "Amerikanske Billede". It was also a documentary -  "American Pictures" . ( Review )

Who is Mr. Holdt? he keeps a very peculiar web page that includes, among his serious photography and genealogy works,  Hobby #7. World's greatest collector of e-mail jokes and a complete photo catalogue over my old girlfriends! (not really).
