Dimension is a 2010 Danish unfinished gangster film written and directed by Lars von Trier. Production began in 1990, and the film was shot in over six years from 1991 until production ended in 1997. The original intention was to continue production in four-minute segments every year for a period of 33 years, with a final release in 2024. The unfinished film, released on DVD in 2010, consists of the completed footage as a short film.

Cast

Von Trier was known in the same regular group of European actors including French-American Jean-Marc Barr, German Udo Kier, and Swedish Stellan Skarsgård, who were cast in several later von Trier films: Breaking the Waves, Dancer in the Dark, Dogville, and Nymphomaniac.
