I remember it very well, in the mid-90’s, Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg started the Dogme movement. Right from the start, I thought it was quite a fascinating concept and I tried to watch most of these movies when they were released in the movie theater at the time. If I remember it correctly, I saw this one when it was released back then when I was living in England. Out of all the Dogme movies I have seen, it is probably the most oscure one but, in fact, it turned out to be one of the best in this genre (my favorite will forever be 'Festen' which is, in my opinion, one of the best movies ever produced). Basically, this movie takes place in a desert in Africa where a group of tourists get stuck. From that point, they try to survive and most of them get eventually really nuts in the process. I really enjoyed the depth put in the characters and to see them evolving under such pressure was quite spellbinding. To conclude, even though it is completely forgotten nowadays, I think it is a great and fascinating movie and it is definitely worth a look, especially if you are interested in Scandinavian movies.
