Dogtooth

Posted on August 17, 2018 by Village Vidiot

Bizarre, surreal Greek fantasy of a family isolated in a compound. The family as fascist, patriarchal authoritarian model and what happens when the world outside begins to intrude. Very brutal, weirdly comical in points, and very disturbing. Sexual but utterly flat and unemotional in its sexuality. A new vocabulary to mask meaning. Bark like a dog. Scott and Gene liked this one a lot. Bronwen hated it. I appreciated it as a commentary but didn’t enjoy watching it. A few weird things. We know she saw “Rocky” and “Jaws,” but when did the daughter watch “Flashdance?”.
