4K Remaster
This unique, psychological dystopian thriller (here with a 4k remaster), is the film which brought Yorgos Lanthimos (‘The Favourite’, ‘Poor Things’) to prominence on the world stage
Three teenagers live an isolated existence, within the confines of their pristine house, blocked from society by a fence, and only allowed to go into the real world when their “dogtooth,” or canine tooth, has eventually fallen out, symbolising their official coming-of-age. The brilliance here is that, without any clues to the family's past, you easily understand what has been happening. Lanthimos skilfully drops tantalising pieces of information, keeping the viewer in a state of suspense and wonder. Yorgos Lanthimos exploded on to the world stage, winning the Un Certain Regard prize in Cannes which recognises emerging talent and daring work and a Best Film in a Foreign Language Oscar nomination the next year. This uniquely unsettling scenario is open to interpretation and the film will stick around long after you are released from its grip. (Subtitles)
