Dogtooth

2009, Movie, 1h 38min

Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.

The film effortlessly examines hefty themes like freedom, toxic masculinity, privilege, familial bonds (and the need to escape them).

The truth goes hand-in-glove with a feeling of blind panic. It’s an exhilaratingly unpredictable experience, and not an easy one to shake.

What is Dogtooth about? Toggle content

In a secluded estate, three teenagers live under the oppressive control of their parents, who have created a bizarre world entirely cut off from reality. With strict rules and a warped understanding of language, they believe that outside influences are dangerous and must be avoided at all costs. Their daily lives revolve around peculiar games and distorted truths, as they navigate their existence within the confines of their family's twisted ideology. As an outsider enters this isolated environment introduced to satisfy one son's needs, cracks begin to form in their carefully constructed reality. This darkly humorous film explores themes of manipulation, innocence lost, and the fragility of human connections in a chillingly surreal setting.
