the idiots is the second dogme 995 film, and i watched it this evening. i found it both appauling and hillarious. its about a group of young people who ‘spaz out’ i.e, pretend to be mentally disabled, as a form of expression. they take it in turns tto be the minder, and go to public places like the swimming baths, where their assumed disability seems to give them carte blanche to behave abominably. the funniest scene is where one of them leaves his ‘retarded’ brother with a group of bikers, who end up takingg him to the loo. what is telling, though, is a scene where a few people with down’s syndome come to the house, and they act with prejudice.

please note, though, that this film is highly pornographic in parts.
