A film in which the collective of main characters intentionally "spaz out," believing that emulating a person with a developmental disorder will relieve their inhibitions, "The Idiots" understandably became the center of great controversy. The second Dogme 95 film, a filmmaking philosophy spearheaded by von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg in which the filmmakers strove to shoot only on location, using on-site sounds and natural lighting. Von Trier later admitted to breaching a number of these rules while filming "The Idiots" by using a stand-in for a sex scene, moving various light sources, and using an off-camera harmonica player to introduce music to a scene. Nominated for the Cannes Palme d'Or.
