If you never saw Jojo Rabbit, it's up on HBO Max now
Describe to me one interesting or innovative thing Dogtooth did. Concept, acting, characterization, camera-work, plot, music, anything.2 bad takes back 2 back.
Oh dear. Maybe the movie that has aged better than any over the last 6 months. Incredible movie!Dogtooth is bad.
Love the themes explored about institutions that are meant to protect us or pretend to protect us but instead betray that social contract or inherent trust. All within the confines of a family that lives under “quarantine”. It’s the most essential film I can think of at the moment, one that perfectly captures our current predicament.Describe to me one interesting or innovative thing Dogtooth did.

It’s a short film stretched into 90 minutes.
I would say that's the concept of the film but the theme is never explored. Nothing really changes or happens, it's just like "homeschooling, AMIRIGHT!?"Love the themes explored about institutions that are meant to protect us or pretend to protect us but instead betray that social contract or inherent trust.

I would love for it to get a physical Criterion release
I would argue that each child represents a different test subject with various outcomes. The oldest daughter begins to questions the nature of her surroundings, and as the movie unfolds the cracks in these “institutions” begin to show and slowly unravel.I would say that's the concept of the film but the theme is never explored.

I *really* wanted to like The Lobster, but it started to lose me.I don't know how I feel about Yorgos Lanthimos. I liked The Favourite, but I think that might have more to do with Tony McNamara (as demonstrated by the greatness of The Great). I did not like The Lobster. I was going to watch Killing of a Sacred Deer to really nail down an opinion, but now y'all have me wanting to watch Dogtooth! The good debate has piqued my interest!
You should definitely watch it! Me arguing that it's "bad" doesn't mean it's not worth watching.I don't know how I feel about Yorgos Lanthimos.

I hear you, but all the interpretations and analysis of the movie I've seen don't feel supported by the text. Lots of crazy "theories" but none of that is in the movie.I would argue that each child represents a different test subject with various outcomes.

Also the copy I got from the library is a Kino Lorber release so I wouldn't hold my breath on Criterion.Love the themes explored about institutions that are meant to protect us or pretend to protect us but instead betray that social contract or inherent trust.

The live action Mulan remake is coming to Disney+ on September 4th. It will cost $30 to rent.
I think it’s if you have Disney+, then you have the opportunity to rent it for $30It's smart for them. Who will rent it when they can sign up for Disney+ for $9.99? (Or less... I don't actually know how much it is)
