Civilization process and developments in the field of technology have brought economic, social and cultural changes and led to the emergence of new approaches and formations with the driving force of these transformations. One of the areas where these transformations have occurred is cinema. These formations that emerged in cinema developed under the leadership of various intellectual groups, schools or field-specific magazines. The main objectives of these formations are to present narratives that can meet the social, political and cultural needs of the period. One of these formations is the Dogme 95 movement, which opposes the traditional and contemporary narrative with its manifesto.
The Dogme 95 movement, which states that filmmaking can only be performed within certain rules, defines cinema as an illusion cinema and sees it as a medium where high-colored visual elements are used to produce hollow movies. According to this movement, the main duty of the director who shoots the movie should be to reveal the truth in the narrative rather than creating an illusion with artificial action and artificial characters.
The aim of this study is to clarify the concept of "Dogma 95", which exhibits an contrary attitude towards mainstream cinema, and to determine whether the movie "Idiots”, which was directed by Lars von Trier and shot in line with the manifesto, bears the characteristics of the movement in terms of narrative features. The neo-formalist approach developed by Bordwell and Thompson was used as the method for this study.
