Dogtooth Review

I saw Yorgos Lanthimos’ 2009 movie Dogtooth, and I completely love it. I’ve become obsessed with Lanthimos ever since seeing The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, the latter of which is in my top ten movies ever. However, this may be his best work I’ve seen yet. I say this, even though it’s hands down one of the most disturbing, horrifying experiences I’ve ever had watching a film.

The shot composition is very much Lanthimos’ signature style – cold and distant, yet profoundly beautiful. This is amplified by the gorgeous greenery surrounding the family home the movie is dominantly set at. But, as this is a Lanthimos story, the family has something much darker lurking.

Lanthimos and his co-writers are absolute geniuses at gradually revealing their plots, and this film is the most artfully mind-destroying example of this I’ve seen, so I really don’t want to give away much. But it’s about an abused family, and the extent of the abuse is probably some of the most extreme and disturbing ever put to film. It’s disgusting and vile, I’m not joking. But for anyone mentally well enough to handle it, they’ll find a deeply profound story of control and the concept of family, and one of the most hauntingly accurate portrayals of abuse. As someone who has been through domestic abuse, it moved me to near tears.

Also, even with the movie being in Greek, I could see and feel the raw emotion from every single actor. And after seeing Angeliki Papoulia in a few Lanthimos movies now, I must say, she’s a total fucking legend.

5/5

Don't you wanna die for something worth dying for? Do you have any idea how long I've waited for this? Longer than you think.
