Review of Dog Days (2001) by Michael D — 11 Dec 2009
A slow ride through the suburbs of Austria and back of the dark side of the human mind. A group of mixed character's from young to senior from genius to mentally challenged ones. The acting delivered is very good, you almost feel that it is a documentary not a movie.
The Grotesque character's can maybe sometimes too unrealistic, but unfortunately if you think twice you could find them in your own neighbour hood also. The director gives a clean, distant dissection of the monotonous flat and sterile living with people deprived from emotions captured in their inner cells of despair.
Two of the characters have an aquarium which is the symbol for the shiny and glowy item but which gives a still water life with no possibility to escape just to die. Also it gives a picture of frustated men which cannot connect to the women and start abusing them in their hopelessness, while women obey them and go along with the constant abuse.
A sad but very true story of a human nature...
