Nick Broomfield goes formal
The Guardian caucuses several filmmakers about the legacy of Dogme 95, including Kristian Levring, Mike Figgis, Harmony Korine, Bernard Rose, Dan Myrick, Thomas Vinterberg and Nick Broomfield: "With documentaries there are already a set of very strict rules in place: original sound, no restaging, minimal lighting, no cutaways. In a sense, Dogme rules are much more lenient and slightly inconsistent. They didn't, for example, specify non-actors, or no scripted dialogue—that would have been interesting. But it's neither here nor there whether a camera is handheld or on a tripod. Dogme's great benefit was that it focused attention on the grammar of making films."
