OFFICIAL EXPLANATION
C
The key to this sentence is the relationship of the film to the film style of Dogme 95. We can predict the word start for the blank. For that reason, you can eliminate choice (A) lament, "expresses grief," as it directs attention to the past, not the future as is the case in this sentence. Similarly, you can eliminate choice (E) paradox, "a contradiction," which is irrelevant to the beginning of a new fad. Choices (B) anachronism and (D) anomaly are both plausible, as a controversial work is likely to be out of place. However, choice (C) catalyst, "something that brings about a change in something else," is the correct answer; it best fits your predicted word start, and it directly describes the relationship between the film and the change in the film industry.
