Über diesen Film

2011 Academy Award Nominee for Best Foreign Language Film.

Graceful, enigmatic, and often frightening, DOGTOOTH is an ingenious dark comedy that won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, propelling Yorgos Lanthimos to the forefront of contemporary cinema's most ambitious young filmmakers.

In an effort to protect their three children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a Greek couple transforms their home into a gated compound of cultural deprivation and strict rules of behavior. But children cannot remain innocent forever. When the father brings home a young woman to satisfy his son's sexual urges, the family's engineered "reality" begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.

Like the haunting, dystopic visions of Michael Haneke and Gaspar Noé, DOGTOOTH punctuates its compelling drama with moments of shocking violence, creating a biting social satire that is as profound as it is provocative.

Bewertungen und Rezensionen

Do not rent this SD version of the film! I know this is rated as an amazing.movie, but this version on the Play store is unwatchable. It's Standard Definition and the compression is TERRIBLE! The frame rate is all messed up and stilted. DO NOT BUY OR RENT THIS VERSION! Buy the DVD or Blu-Ray directly.

This is definitely love or hate movie, please read reviews before paying for it. For me it had no story or development, just long scenes of disturbing dystopian family life.

This is literally the most disturbing movie I've ever seen. The twisted conviction of these parents is a graphic train wreck that I could not turn away from. It's creative and we'll done. I will never watch it again, but I can never forget it either
