Manderlay
When we last saw Grace, she was leaving the recently massacred Dogville with her gangster father; as Manderlay begins, they’ve arrived in the Deep South. An African-American woman runs up to their car and begs for help; although her father warns her not to get involved, Grace is convinced that this is her next stop. Behind a high iron fence stands a classic, pillared mansion; within that house and on all the land it surveys is a world in which slavery still exists, 70 years after its abolition. Aided by four gangsters and a lawyer given to her by her father, Grace tries to end what she sees as a corrupt remnant of the past—but it soon emerges that both victims and victimizers have interests in the status quo. The ever-unpredictable Lars von Trier has assembled an extraordinary cast—Danny Glover, Lauren Bacall, Isaach de Bankolé, Willem Dafoe—for a controversial, unsettling exploration of race relations. And in Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays Grace, von Trier has discovered a major new talent. 139 min. Denmark/Sweden/France, 2005  An IFC Films Release
