Kynodontas / Κυνόδοντας
- Drama
Three teenagers are confined to an isolated country estate that could very well be on another planet. The trio spend their days listening to endless homemade tapes that teach them a whole new vocabulary. Any word that comes from beyond their family abode is instantly assigned a new meaning. Hence 'the sea' refers to a large armchair and 'zombies' are little yellow flowers. Having invented a brother whom they claim to have ostracized for his disobedience, the uber-controlling parents terrorize their offspring into submission.
Dogtooth is a 2009 Greek psychological drama directed by Yorgos Lanthimos about three teenagers isolated on a remote estate, cut off from the outside world by their controlling parents who teach them a distorted vocabulary where everyday words have invented meanings. The film premiered at international film festivals and has since become available on various streaming platforms. It's a stark, unsettling exploration of family control and psychological manipulation.
