Short description
A group of perfectly intelligent young people decide to react to society's cult of aimless, non-creative and non-responsible form intellect by living together in a community of 'idiots'. Their primary activity becomes going out into the world of 'normal' people and pretending to be mentally incompetent. They take advantage of this situation to create anarchy, and, by every possible means, to make those around them miserable.
What's left behind the scenes
- Shooting each take often took 50 minutes.
- Within the framework of the avant-garde film movement "Dogme 95", one of its ideologues, Lars von Trier, wrote the screenplay for a film in four days.
- British film critic Mark Kermode was ejected from a screening at the Cannes Film Festival for repeatedly shouting "Il est merde!"
