Movie Reviews of The Idiots
Movie Review: recommended to people who enjoy art films, beautiful films, creme of the crop independent films
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a wonderful movie. It's one of the original movies shot in the Dogma tradition and it is directed by one of the founders of the Dogma movement. It is very much a human drama , it plays out somewhat slowly , but completely sucks the viewer into the group experience that is the film, and it has twists and turns that put what you think you know on its head right up to the very end, highly recommended to people who enjoy art films, beautiful films, creme of the crop independent films, not recommended to those seeking fast paced American action films , or films that don't challenge their audience

Stoffer ( Jens Albinus) is supposed to be selling his uncle's house but instead it becomes the focal point for geeky group activities. Restaurant patrons are disturbed by the group's mischief, but single diner Karen (Bodil Jorgensen) develops an appreciation of their antics. Stoffer, at his birthday party, wishes for a 'gangbang,' and both clothes and inhibitions are soon discarded. But when Stoffer calls for the group members to let idiocy invade their personal daily lives, only Karen takes up the challenge. Shown in competition at the 1998 Cannes Film Festival.SCREENED/AWARDED AT: Cannes Film Festival, European Film Awards, ...Idiots ( Idioterne )
