Review of Dogtooth (2009) by Eugen B — 27 Apr 2017
The value of true artworks depends on the viewer. That being said, Yorgos Lanthimos' cynical and both fascinating and highly disturbing film "Dogtooth" can be read either as the darkest of all comedies ever made, an over-the-top study about the consequences of over-protection in education, a secret plead for freedom, a courageous political allegory to fascist governments or something else I personally didn't discover.
One might judge the film for its lack of big development and a background story, but claiming it to exploit the at times truly disgusting material it contains is complete nonsense because this movie definitely has something to say.
