Dogtooth (Kynodontas) (2009)
4/5
Words cannot express the insanity depicted in this film. Beautifully photographed, minimalist in style coupled with great performances give a terrifying & unsettling sense of believability to this 'family-horror'. This film belongs on a shelf with films like The Virgin Suicides, & Ice Storm, yet trumps them all, without a hint of pretension or heavy handed messages or metaphors. Instead it is a tight close up of this bizarre family, evoking conflicting notions of the ideals of modern family life. It's guaranteed to make you cringe.
