Dogtooth (2009)
You're probably better off watching this one alone, just make sure no one catches you.
Presentation:
Explicit, taboo, cruel, perverted. This film should be illegal in many countries. It is beyond weird, beyond strange, beyond bizarre. It's almost unsettling how uncivilized a mind needs to be in order to craft such a wild idea. Dump every social normal you know and what you are left with is the soul of Lanthimos film without any of the big budget theatrics. And yet it's avant garde. It's somehow both disturbing, disgusting, provocative and mesmerizing. This film is not for the faint of heart. Proceed with caution. Shot entirely on 50mm anamorphic and film.
Conclusion:
One of the most unique experiences that could shatter your perception on filmmaking let alone society. This film could be very offensive to many. You're probably better off watching alone, just make sure no one catches you doing it.
