Dogtooth (2009)
Details
Dir. Yorgos Lanthimos | Greece (in Greek with English subtitles) | 2009 | 130 min. | Unrated | New 4K DCP Restoration
A controlling, manipulative father (Christos Stergioglou) locks his three offspring in a state of perpetual childhood by keeping them prisoner within the sprawling family compound. To assuage their boredom, the children entertain themselves with endurance games — such as holding their hands under scalding hot water and assessing who can go the longest without breathing underwater. In spite of distractions like Christina (Anna Kalaitzidou) — an employee of their father who makes regular visits to sexually service the son (Hristos Passalis) — the kids grow increasingly curious about the outside world and one of them hatches a plan to escape.
If folks are up for it, we can chat about the movie afterwards over a bite nearby.
