In Dogville we were really working with the idea of landscape. The apple trees, the mountains, it was all pretty romantic. There were also sounds that came from outside, from the landscape. There is no landscape in Manderlay. And at no point do you get the feeling that there is an outside. All the sounds come only from inside. I wanted to create a feeling of isolation, after all Manderlay is a prison.
