Product Description

The second instalment in Lars von Trier's allegorical 'USA' trilogy employs a similarly stripped down approach to Dogville and shares the earlier film's polemic stance, but to leaner and more accessible effect. Manderlay's scrutiny of the history of slavery and race relations begins in 1933.

Grace (Bryce Dallas Howard) and her father (Willem Dafoe) having fled Dogville, arrive in Alabama at the gate of a troubled plantation where the abolition of slavery 70 years earlier has been ignored. Disregarding her father's advice, Grace determines to right this injustice, and stays behind to liberate Manderlay. But in Von Trier's world the road to hell is paved with naïve good intentions, and Grace's determination to bring democracy and equality doesn't allow for the free will the former slaves might choose to exercise, nor for her own uncomfortable erotic fantasies…

Content Description

こんな町さえなければ、世界はもう少しましになるわ」と言い残し、ドッグヴィルの町を焼き払ったグレースのその後の物語。
グレースは新たな居住地を求めるうちに、アメリカ南部の奥深く、荒野に広がる大農園へとたどり着く。厚い鎖と南京錠で閉ざされたこの農園の名は、マンダレイ。70年も昔に廃止されたはずの奴隷制度が当然のごとく存在する、驚くべき土地だった。目の前で繰り広げられる軽蔑すべき光景を前に、グレースはマンダレイに自由を与えるという志高き使命を見出す。
