Review of Dogtooth (2009) by Dean M — 26 Apr 2011
What I am saying is this: watching Dogtooth is one of the strangest experiences I've ever had. This Greek film with a bunch of actors who straight up killed their performances... but that's not all that makes this film great. The whole moral is to show us as humans, what happens if you don't let natural curiousity run free. The parents in this film are protective to the extreme.
The reason for giving this film an average is the full frontal nudity and strangely unattractive sexual content, which, in spite all nudity, did not arouse me ever so little.
The script, filming and direction are repetitive. I understand what they were going for, to make us feel like we are in that world and the monotony of it, but the same feelings are shown over and over and over... I got it after twenty minutes. And still, we never got to see the eldest daughter break free. Also, the most interesting character, Christina, was gotten rid of half way through. I wanted to know her story and I wanted her to open their eyes.
