These are all great shots but they would be great in any film. The video doesn't demonstrate the idiosyncrasies of dogme films, like the restrictions on sound and lighting.

(Also was the soundtrack added just for this YouTube video, or is Lars Von Trier breaking his own rules?)

The soundtrack is from the movie, but Breaking the Waves was not a Dogme movie.

Ever stop to smell the flowers once in a while?

Sure, but the most interesting thing about the dogme movies is what they manage to do in spite of the restrictions, as you said. These are beautiful shots but they don't have anything specifically to do with those restrictions.
