Written by Lars von Trier, DEAR WENDY is a joint project between he and fellow director and Dogme '95 cofounder Thomas Vinterberg. Set in an unnamed small town, the film is a stylish exploration of guns and violence in America. A young loner named Dick (Jamie Bell) discovers a handgun and finds himself strangely drawn to it despite his pacifist views. He soon forms a secret club for others like himself who collect antique guns and call themselves the Dandies. But the most important Dandy rule of all -- "never draw your weapons" -- soon proves a great challenge. With cinematography by Anthony Dod Mantle (28 Days Later, Dogville) and a soundtrack by the '60s rock group the Zombies, DEAR WENDY is a unique film certain to find a cult following. An official selection of the 2005 Sundance Film Festival, Kevin Thomas of the Los Angeles Times calls it "an allegory on guns and violence in America that is all the more resounding for its acutely observed foreigners' perspective."
