Dogme Uncut by Jack Stevenson

In 1995 Danish filmmaker Lars Von Trier and three other compatriots swore a vow of chastity', aimed at jolting the the movie industry around the world who had become stuck in the mire of slick, emotionally manipulative, high concept and bombastic film production. Their DIY approach, using handheld cameras, natural lighting and no soundtrack, spawned such films as Festen, The Idiots and Mifune, that shocked and inspired audiences everywhere. Penned in a lively, jargon-free style, this is a richly illustrative survey of the entire Dogme canon. B/w photos.'
Jack Stevenson has contributed articles about American cult, underground, and exploitation cinema to American film magazines as disparate as Film Quarterly and The Big Reel. He also contributed to many of the leading European film journals, and his texts have been translated into nine languages. He is the author of Lars Von Trier (British Film Institute), and has also written about Dogme for Danish, German, and Czech film journals. Born and raised in upstate New York, today Stevenson resides in Allerød, just north of Copenhagen.
