Dogtooth

The Dogtooth Movie will be released in June 2010. It is being released by Kino International and the rating for this movie isn’t available yet. It is a drama.

This is a movie where certain teenagers are confined to a certain isolated country estate. Dogtooth tells the story of a nuclear family that have tight reigns on the teenagers due to the over controlling parents.

While the three teenagers is in an education program, they are also entertained and exercised. All this is done at the request of the parents. And the parents find this highly important for the teenagers. They have no contact with the outside world. The three teenagers spend their days listening to homemade tapes which are meant to teach them an entirely new vocabulary. Any outside word is instantly assigned a new meaning. For example, the sea refers to a large armchair and zombies are little yellow flowers.

There is only one person allowed inside the house and this is a female security guard who works with the family business. The father always arranges these visits and there is never a visit without an appointment. He does this to take care of his son’s sexual urges and the entire family is fond of her. This to say the least is going to be a weird movie.

However, a day comes when the security guard gives the older daughter a headband with stones in it. And they glow in the dark too. And when she asks for something in return , the family’s world is turned upside down. They have never been through this before. Give and take is very new to them. The Dogtooth movie is going to be phenomenal in the words of being weird.
