5. Greece - Dogtooth

Around The World In 8mm

What works well for this film is that it has weird written all over it from the plot to the acting to the stylistic choices to the absurdist humor, everything calls for discomfort. The kind of discomfort we all need from time to time to be shaken into thinking about our lived realities.
