Fifteen years after it first shocked audiences and redefined the boundaries of art house cinema, Dogtooth returns in a stunning new 4K restoration to The Frida Cinema just in time to ruin your Summer. The breakthrough feature from visionary filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer, The Favourite, Poor Things) is as provocative, surreal, and disturbingly funny as ever — now sharper and stranger than ever before.
Winner of the Un Certain Regard prize at Cannes and an Academy Award nominee for Best Foreign Language Film, Dogtooth is a razor-edged parable of control and conditioning. Isolated behind a fence and raised under a regime of invented truths, three adult siblings have never stepped beyond the boundaries of their family home. Language is manipulated, reality is manufactured, and any curiosity is punished with surgical precision.
With its stark visual style, bone-dry humor, and bursts of surreal violence, Dogtooth remains a landmark of weird Greek cinema — a film that startles, unsettles, and invites endless interpretation.
