Alps

Greece

Poor follow-up to the intriguing Dogtooth. This one has the same flat, affect-less acting, plain locations, abstract central premise, emotionless sex scenes and general degradation of its players. But this one has no compelling subtext pulling you in which made watching it an ordeal.

Oddly enough this film like other recent Greek attempts at "art" featured female actors with dirty greasy hair tied in unkempt tails. Is this supposed to mean something?

Dogtooth had deep resonance. This didn't.
