The 13th Annual European Union Film festival presents screening of Greek film Dogtooth (KYNODONTAS) directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
A wealthy couple segregates their three teenage children from all knowledge of the outside world, rendering them docile slaves to their parents’ many perverse caprices. Home schooling includes learning a twisted vocabulary: a salt shaker is called a “telephone,†and a small yellow flower is called a “zombie.†Sex has a unique place in this artificial domain, and sex will ultimately plant the seeds of curiosity and rebellion. Winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.
In Greek with English subtitles. Special advance screening courtesy of Kino International. 35mm widescreen. (BS)
