In this strange and wonderful film, a couple rasies their children into adulthood cut off from society. The three young adults (one son, two daughters) are taught that the outside world is not safe to them at their young ages, and they believe that this is the completely normal way to live. They are taught different meanings for words - the "sea" is a chair, the "telephone" a salt shaker. The father leaves for work every day to the city, with the mother staying home in what seems like a voluntary imprisonment. Dogtooth, from Greek director Giorgo Lanthimos, features great performances by the entire "family" and a disturbing and darkly comical screenplay. Audiences are sure to be divided, but this one hooked me right in!
