Pretentious bullshit.
Storytelling is probably better though, less formulaic than Hollywood. If you're Danish you appreciate a few things about for instance Festen that are a nice nod to local culture. If I watched it today I'm not sure what I'd think about the big reveal either, that part is somewhat predictable. Big family secrets tend to be of a certain genre.
But the whole wobbly camera thing, meh. Not sure what it adds. The characters don't become more realistic from natural light or whatever the technique is supposed to be.
How can something be over-hyped when practically no one knows what it is, and it is mainly directed at students and practitioners of cinema? It's not like it is crypto or day trading or something, where it is plastered across every square inch of media and billions of dollars are spent shilling pyramid schemes. I'd call that over-hyped. But an esoteric cinema style that a small minority appreciate isn't really. Taste is taste. At least you tried it, good on you.
I can imagine, GP’s “overhyped” probably means the same thing about this Dogme stuff. Too many information sources (be it some mass media or peers) claim some exceptional quality and GP’s personal opinion digresses.
If all these odd things add up to something, great. Otherwise you're doing the adult equivalent of mooning everyone.
Having said that, I appreciate having a non-Hollywood way of telling a story. Enjoyed the one a couple of years ago about the guys getting drunk during the day.
For example, I think The Wire (and the conceptual successor We Own This City) follow these rules to achieve a great effect (they break some of the rules due to subject matter, but rules are made to be broken after all).
