Review of Dogtooth

Dogtooth (2009)
1/10
Absolute perverse crap
20 April 2023
I have now seen 3 films of this person which is 33.33% of his filmography. The films are preverse; bear no resemblance to film entertainment and are just boring because there is little to no cohesive narrative. It's almost as if he takes great pleasure in shocking his audience. Some of the grotesque items in this film: a boy that kills a cat with a pair of hedge clippers; the family barking like dogs; a man who picks up a vcr and smacks his son's lover in the head with it because they had sex which is what he got the girl there for in the first place. The whole premise of the story is the parents don't let the children off the property in order to protect their innocence, but that's a stupid concept and borders on child abuse. Rather than educating them, they lie to the children: they tell them "Zombies" are flowers and other stupid aspects. There is NOTHING entertaining about this film - in short - it's more like audience abuse. It's unfathomable that this picture received the praise it did. It was the greek entry into the Oscars in 2010. If this is what the Greeks think is Art and Entertainment, then the past Greek culture is probably rolling over in their collective graves. If this is what AMPAS considers superior film fare to be nominated for Best Foreign Film, then someone has to be on the take. This is NOT film - this is NOT entertainment - this is just crap to be avoided.
