Before helming bold, adventurous films like The Lobster and the Best Picture-nominees Poor Things and The Favourite, Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos made his international breakthrough with Dogtooth, a darkly comic and deeply unsettling satire of authoritarian control and the sanctity of the nuclear family. In a remote villa, a husband and wife raise their three adult children in total isolation, inventing language, restricting behavior, and constructing a warped reality under the guise of protection. But when a woman from the outside is brought in to satisfy the son’s sexual urges, the family’s rigid system begins to fracture. Winner of the Prix Un Certain Regard at Cannes and an Oscar-nominee for Best Foreign Language Film of the Year, Dogtooth is a bold and provocative debut that skewers ideologies of obedience and repression with deadpan absurdity and shocking precision.Restored in 4K from the 35mm camera and sound negatives by Boo Productions and mk2 Films at Asterisk* Post and I Hear Voices sound studio. Colour grading by Gregory Arvanitis and Thimios Bakatakis. Digital sound restoration by Landros Ntounis. The restoration process was supervised by the director, Yorgos Lanthimos.
