PTA: Where did you get the title for Dogville?
LVT: I spoke to Thomas Winterberg, to one of his colleagues, actually, and we were talking about concentration camps, and then it became America straight away [they laugh]. No, we were talking about how they managed to keep discipline and life going on in the concentration camp, and his theory, which I believe, is that they transformed people into animals. If they are animals, then they are much easier to control. It’s very easy to make human beings into animals: let them be cruel, let them be anything–it’s such a thin layer, and that was part of the strategy in the concentration camps. And then we talked about dogs, and I said the film had to be called “something-ville.”
