Manderlay
MANDERLAY features an all-star cast including Bryce Dallas Howard, Danny Glover, Willem Dafoe, and Lauren Bacall and is the second film in a trilogy by renowned filmmaker Lars von Trier (DOGVILLE, BREAKING THE WAVES).
Set in the American South in the late 1930s, Bryce Dallas Howard stars as Grace, a young woman who finds herself on a plantation that is operating as if slavery hadn’t been abolished 70 years earlier.
Feeling a moral obligation to restore order and liberate the workers, Grace soon discovers how dangerous it can be to challenge the status quo and that justice and democracy are both complicated and imperfect.
