So goes the legend, but it's matter-of-fact and self-deprecating enough to believe.
On March 20, 1995, Lars von Trier was in Paris for the 100th anniversary of cinema and it was there that he unveiled Dogme95.
Perhaps intentionally, the rules were strict enough to ensure that the movement wouldn't last long: Shoot only on location, no props, no sets, no additional lighting or optical effects of any kind, no additional sound or music.

While the ideas behind the Dogme95 Manifesto was born out of honest analysis it is true that the enormous international and local success of the first 3 dogme films has to a degree turned ’dogme’ into a commerical gimmick - a pr stunt.
A clear example of this is that the very strict and serious Dogme95 Manifesto was actually written in only 25 minutes and under continuous bursts of merry laughter… Still, we maintain that we are in earnest.
The advantage of the Dogme95 rules is also that they ensure a great freedom of movements during the shooting.

 The St. Petersburg Times - Arts + Features - dogmatic film movement gets local screening
Dogme95, or Dogma Filmmakers, as they have come to be called, are small but growing group of film artists who have willingly created a reactionary film movement.
The aim of the austere aesthetics of Dogme95, originally drawn up by Vinterberg and Von Trier, is to "counter 'certain' tendencies in cinema today." One of these tendencies is the aforementioned Hollywood syndrome of mounting films that have all sorts of visual and aural trappings - special effects, hip soundtracks - but are ultimately empty.
His films "Europa" (known as "Zentropa" in the U.S.), "Breaking the Waves," and the TV miniseries "The Kingdom," all of which have achieved fame or notoriety due to their cinematic daring, can all be seen as stepping stones to his partial creation and total acceptance of all the tenets of the movement.

The Dogme95 approach also arguably succeeds by focusing attention back were it most belongs – on the importance of a stellar script to the success of a cinematic endeavor.
Dogme95 strikes me as the reciprocal extreme from that emerging in the recent films of Zhang Yimou, Hero (2002) and House of Flying Daggers (2004).
While Dogme95 suppresses glossy imagery, action, and special effects to magnify the importance of good story telling, Zhang (who had previously shown that he knows how to tell a good story) has suppressed plot and character development in preference for gorgeous images, technical wizardry, and lots of wire-fu action.

Richard Kelly's investigation of the Dogme95 movement is a piece of "gonzo journalism" in which Kelly sallies forth in search of the Dogme brothers and their accomplices, seeking to hammer out truth from rumor in what is itself an appropriately austere and anarchic piece of cinematic mischief.
Richard Kelly decided to research the Dogme95 movement launched in March 1995 by Danish director Lars von Trier and three of his friends as part of a "new wave" of avant-garde film of simpler, more truthful, and less boring movies.
But with the emergence of such Dogme95 films as Festen, The Idiots, Mifune, and The King is Alive, Danish cinema was galvanized, energized and engaged in a show of solidarity against the Hollywood mainstream.

 Dogme is dead. Long live Dogme | Features | Guardian Unlimited Film
Dogme95 might reasonably be seen as Von Trier's earnest rebellion against that poised and precious early work.
The reason that Dogme95 was greeted with such intense levels of enthusiasm and hostility was that no one had challenged cinematic language and form so aggressively since the start of the French new wave 40 years before.
For a time, Dogme95 enjoyed a honeymoon period, prolonged in no small part by a happy coincidence: the success of The Blair Witch Project, another low-budget picture that combined digital photography (technically a contravention of Dogme rules) and primitive technique to give audiences old ideas in a new form.

 erasing clouds music reviews: october 3
Dogme95, the musical group, does have a sparse, lo-fi sound, so perhaps Wright sees himself as seeking the same sort of "purity" in his music that those directors sought in film.
Arcadian Hymns might not live up to the Dogme95 name in terms of clarity of vision, but the album's messiness ultimately reveals itself to be depth.
The album's all over the place; Dogme95 trip through centuries in a primitive time machine powered by tambourines, and along the way they stumble across a host of unique associations, ideas, and sounds.

Both Dogme95 of Denmark and Surrealism of Paris were concerned with this crisis of consciousness.
Seven years after the original Dogme95 manifesto was composed by Lars von Trier and Thomas Vinterberg, we have come up with our own version of a cinematic 'revolution.' In the last seven years DV moviemaking has come into its own and the time is now ripe for the lunatics to take over the asylum.
Danish Dogme95 did not take Hollywood (i.e., global moviemaking) by storm for two reasons: one it was Denmark-based, and so severely limited in the public eye to 'weird, subtitled art movies.' And two, the Dogme95 manifesto itself was deliberately 'chaste' and ascetic in nature: it was 'dogmatic,' exclusionist, alienating.

 SPLICEDwire | "The King Is Alive" review (2001) Kristian Levring, Romane Bohringer, Bruce Davison, Jennifer Jason ...
Co-written and directed by Kristian Levring as his contribution to the Dogme95 collective -- a quartet of Dutch filmmakers experimenting with cinematic minimalism -- the film's vérité style of handheld cameras and natural light (per the Dogme rules) makes it pop with tension and raw emotion as the tourists unravel.
"The King Is Alive" seems to break out of the constraints of the Dogme95 "Vow of Chastity" (put in place to challenge a director's creativity) with its gorgeous, golden desert photography and rich colors that I'd swear were achieved with filters if I didn't know it was against the rules.
By choosing artfully quiet photography over the shaky, on-the-fly shooting associated with this emerging movement, and by curbing the improvisation of his actors, Levring has married Dogme sensibilities to a more practiced and elegant composition.
