Gangster
Вторая часть «американской» трилогии Ларса фон Триера, начатой «Догвиллем». Через два месяца после описанных в «Догвилле» событий, Грейс оказывается на плантации в Алабаме, где рабочие не знают, что рабство было отменено 70 лет назад. Сам Триер говорит о своем проекте так: «Я ожидаю, что мой фильм объединит ку-клукс-клан и цветных, потому что и те, и другие захотят после этого меня убить».
Casting
After causing a commotion with his last assignment, Falk has been given a desk job, which hardly agrees with his personality, and he ends up accepting an offer from an old friend to buy into a private investigation agency. Another friend of Falk's, Sven, purchased a business in Estonia, and when local gangsters attempted to pressure him into paying protection money, Sven retained the services of Nikolaus Lehmann, a burly private eye, to throw them off his trail. However, Lehmann does his job all too well, murdering the racketeers, and then threatening Sven and his family. With no where else to turn, Sven asks Falk to help him deal with the crazed Lehmann; Falk agrees, but soon realizes he's dealing with a more dangerous man than he imagined when Lehmann kidnaps Falk's wife Jeanette, and then releases her with a time bomb locked around her neck, demanding that Falk hand over ownership of his detective agency to Lehmann.
