Manderlay: In 1933, after leaving Dogville, Grace Margaret Mulligan sees a slave about to be punished in a property called Manderlay. Grace decides to stay with some gangsters in Manderlay and give notions of democracy to the slaves and to the white family. In one scene Grace Margaret forces the white family, including Philomena (Chloë Sevigny) to dress up in blackface and serve a meal to the puzzled slaves. The whole movie is a mess. Evelyne Byot was the key makeup artist.
