A day long meeting between Dogme practitioners Lars Von Trier, Søren Kragh-Jacobsen, Thomas Vinterberg, and Kristian Levring provides the material for this documentary portrait of the controversial late-1990s film movement. The directors confront the flaws of the movement, with Vinterberg confessing to stretching the rules of the audacious “vow of chastity” to suit his particular vision. Rather than simply celebrate the work of the movement, director Jesper Jargil challenges the filmmakers to reflect on the implications of their unique process.
