"Dente Canino" (Dogtooth) - mubi.

Primeiro trabalho de Yorgos Lanthimos que chamou atenção, ganhando em Cannes 2009. É um filme estranho, divertido, violento. Queria rever há um tempo e estava na lista do Mubi. Como fui avisado que sairia do catálogo, resolvi rever logo. Até acho que esse filme deve entrar no catálogo de outro streaming, já que o diretor grego atingiu bom sucesso em Hollywood.

depois de ver: percebo que o diretor vem aos poucos abandonando seus enquadramentos "fora de quadro". e, nos filmes mais recentes, utilizado mais as lentes angulares exageradas. esse filme continua forte e traz na simplicidade da realização questões humanas complexas.

Angeliki Papoulia, Mary Tsoni, Hristos Passalis, Michele Valley, and Christos Stergioglou in Dogtooth (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2009) Cast: Christos Stergioglou, Michele Valley, Angeliki Papoulia, Hristos Passalis, Mary Tsoni, Anna Kalaitzidou. Screenplay: Efthymis Philippou, Yorgos Lanthimos. Cinematography: Thimios Bakatakis. Dogtooth begins with Mother (Michele Valley) providing vocabulary lessons to her children, except that the definitions of the words are hilariously incorrect: The word "sea," for example, means "a large armchair." And soon we meet Father (Christos Stergioglou), who is bringing home Christina (Anna Kalaitzidou), a young female security guard from the place where he works. She is securely blindfolded during the trip, and when they get there she is shown to a room where she and the Son ( Hristos Passalis) have sex -- a task the Father occasionally hires her to perform. Other than that, the three children, all of them young adults, have no contact with the outside world -- they've been told that they can go outside only when they shed one of their "dogteeth." They live in an expensive house surrounded by a high wall, and are never allowed outside. They have a television set, but it is used only for home videos. When a cat wanders onto the grounds, the Son kills it with garden shears, and on learning of the intruder the Father slashes his clothes and smears himself with fake blood, then tells them that cats are the most dangerous creatures on Earth and has them get down on all fours and bark like dogs, training them on how to respond if another cat should make its way into their enclave. Eventually, however, the world intrudes, largely because of Christina, who gets bored with the perfunctory sex with the Son, who refuses to gratify her orally, so she teaches the Older Daughter (Angeliki Papoulia) the fine art of cunnilingus, setting off some experiments with licking between the two daughters, usually involving body parts like the shoulder or the inside of the thigh. Christina also gives the Older Daughter some videotapes in exchange for her sexual favors. We gather from the Older Daughter's parroting of lines from the movies that they include Rocky (John G. Avildsen, 1976) and Jaws (Steven Spielberg, 1975). When Christina's transgression is discovered, she's banished from the enclave and the parents decide that one of the daughters should take her place in gratifying the Son. But the damage has been done: Older Daughter knocks out one of her canines with a dumbbell and, bleeding profusely, hides in the trunk of the Father's Mercedes. The macabre humor of Yorgos Lanthimos's film lends itself to all sorts of interpretations: Is it, for example, a satire of helicopter parenting? A lampoon of homeschooling? A fable about the repressive power of the family? A knock on utopian theorizing? Dogtooth is less crazily baroque than Lanthimos's The Lobster (2015) or The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), but its consistent exploration of a warped worldview is fascinating.

Draußen vor dem Zaun lauern überall Gefahren! Wie Katzen! Zombies hingegen sind kleine gelbe Blumen. Die außergewöhnlich wohlbehüteten, aber irgendwie auch grausam irregeführten Kinder in Yorgos Lanthimos unerquicklicher surrealer tyrannische-Familiekonstellations-absurder-Komödie wissen es nicht besser. Sie hat offensichtlich die Absicht, das Publikum in den Wahnsinn treiben und ist darin sehr erfolgreich. Der griechische Film gewann sein Selbstbewußtsein zurück und Lanthimos durfte mit bekannteren Schauspielern einige weitere, deutlich teurere, aber nicht minder unerquickliche und surreale Filme drehen, um noch viel mehr Leute in den Wahnsinn zu treiben.

I hope your kids have bad influences and develop bad personalities. I wish this with all my heart.
