Korine, who wrote the scabrous Kids, then made on his own the widely praised and reviled Gummo, had already planned his new film--the largely improvised story of a schizophrenic (Scottish actor Ewen Bremner), his bullying dad (Werner Herzog) and pregnant sister (Chloe Sevigny)--when Von Trier & Co. suggested he make it under Dogme strictures.
