Screening Fri, Aug 22 – Mon, Aug 25

Graceful, enigmatic, and often frightening, DOGTOOTH is an ingenious dark comedy that propelled Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things) to the forefront of contemporary cinema’s most ambitious young filmmakers. In an effort to protect their three children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a Greek couple transforms their home into a gated compound of cultural deprivation and strict rules of behavior. But children cannot remain innocent forever. When the father brings home a young woman to satisfy his son’s sexual urges, the family’s engineered ‘reality’ begins to crumble, with devastating consequences. Like the haunting visions of Michael Haneke and Gaspar Noé, DOGTOOTH punctuates its compelling drama with moments of shocking violence, creating a biting social satire that is as profound as it is provocative. – KinoLorber
