With 2019’s success of “Parasite”, Bong Joon-ho’s other movies have once again seen an extreme spike in interest from the general public. However, Bong’s first feature film “Barking Dogs Never Bite” often misses out on this added attention. To find out whether this is justified, we revisited it.
Bong’s start in the feature film industry and released in 2000, this black comedy focuses on very simple story, at its core. A down-on-his-luck college lecturer is getting tired of the constant barking by a dog, somewhere in his apartment building. Irritation builds up, and one day he decides that sitting idly by is no longer an option. He takes matters into his own hands, and the story spirals out of control from there.
“Barking Dogs Never Bite” is not the most memorable of Bong’s films, but to be fair, that doesn’t say much, considering the quality of his repertoire.
