You should check out Marx Bros - Animal Crackers Spike Lee - She's gotta have it Godard -Bande a Part (Many films in French New Wave play with this) I think in Von Trier's Dogville the narrator rather than the character addresses the audience directly Film studies often borrows from theatre and calls the direct address "breaking the fourth wall" You mat also want to have a look at the theatre of Brecht and Boal in relation to the use of direct address as an alienation device Hope this helps Nicola * * Film-Philosophy salon After hitting 'reply' please always delete the text of the message you are replying to.
