...calculating and sadistic that skull fragments and clumps of bloody hair littered the road where it took place. Suu Kyi was detained with about a hundred of her party members, including elderly deputy Tin Oo; both Suu Kyi and Tin Oo are still under house arrest. The authorities shut NLD offices nationwide, although last week the party's Rangoon headquarters was allowed to reopen. The party rank and file remains traumatized.

The result of this fascinating collision is Dogville, for which the notoriously kooky Danish auteur lured a distinguished cast to Scandinavia (he refuses to fly) so they could pretend to be in an American town in the 1930s...
