One of 2009’s revelations - it is absolutely staggering. Dogtooth burns magnesium bright with its audacious vision of a Greek middle class patriarch who governs his family as if the outside world is in a state of madness, danger and warfare, feeding them propaganda and lies to keep them docile and obedient, like trained dogs. Erotic and bizarre episodes frequent the film near constantly like a twisted, macabre fairy tale of an authority that causes people to shut off from the outside world and turn in on themselves instead. Superb.
