Dogtooth (2009) ***1/2
"Sit on the sea and have a quiet chat with me."
Dogtooth (2009) is perhaps Yorgos Lanthimos' most disturbing and one of his most sexually explicit films, focusing on a father's bizarre isolationist and overprotective nature toward his family. Taboos are broken, word meanings are improperly ascribed ("a zombie is a small yellow flower"), weird dancing and random bursts of violence occur—all before an ambiguous finale. Compelling, funny, icky, and scary.
