As Good As It Gets Before further investigation, I thought that As Good As It Gets was about a man, Melvin, with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. At first glance, this seemed like the obvious diagnosis; he portrayed both obsessions and compulsions. Melvin was very careful not to touch things that may have been germ ridden, such as door handles, borrowed jackets, and coughing children; he even brought his own dining utensils out to eat with him.

‘The Idiots' is Lars von Trier's only movie that strictly obeys the Dogme95 manifesto. It is artistically and structurally justified in calling itself an archetypal Dogme95 film. The director avoids any generic thematic pursuits and shuns all forms of technical enhancements used in Hollywood cinema.
