Wag the Dogma

This documentary follows Martino Sclavi as he investigates the Danish film scene and the Dogme 95 Manifesto. The film systematically challenges the manifesto's core principles, known as 'vows of chastity', using special effects, comedy sound design, and a singing narrator. It offers a unique perspective on the rules that define this influential filmmaking movement.

With a cast that includes Jens Albinus, Jesper Jargil, and Nikolaj Lie Kaas, Wag the Dogma presents a blend of critical analysis and humor. The documentary not only highlights the tenets of Dogme 95 but also showcases the creative ways filmmakers have pushed back against these constraints. This makes it a significant watch for anyone interested in film theory and the evolution of cinematic practices in Denmark.
