Dogtooth

Storyline

Kynodontas 2009

“The Tooth” is one of the most beautiful films of recent years in Greek cinema. It questions the family structure and achieves this through black comedy and drama. It is a harsh film that shows how the modern world turns people into robots and pets in simple terms. The film is based on the theme of a family trying to isolate their three children from the world and raise them as good personalities. It not only explores the breadth of the concept of goodness, but also questions family hierarchy and people who are slaves to systems. Everything in this world has a book and an explanation. Everything is known in advance and you must read to learn. You must live according to the books and do as you are told. You have no other choice in this world. Everything is clear and you must grow up like this. And this film criticizes itself with a harsh language, a system that builds a world with boundaries under the guise of modernization. The film also shows the existence of a trapped boy in the situation of a trapped girl. Gotta see it..
