Dogme # 3: Mifunes Sidste Sang
(Mifune's Last Song)


Directed by Søren Kragh-Jacobsen

Roger Ebert has written an attractive review, from which I extract this small sample because it gives such a useful insight into what's being attempted: 'Mifune is like a lesson in film-watching. If you see enough films like this, you learn to be suspicious of high-gloss films that purr along mile after mile without any bumps. If a film like this were a car and it stalled, you could go under the hood with a wrench. When fancy films stall, you need a computer expert.'

This essay and that by Mark Sinker in Sight and Sound are well worth reading.
