Attenberg
Why this pick
Its awkward physical games, anthropological gaze, and deliberately flattened performances echo Dogtooth’s fascination with learned behaviour and alienated intimacy.

02
Miss Violence
Why this pick
Another Greek domestic nightmare, built from rigid household routines, quiet coercion, and an unnervingly calm surface rather than conventional melodrama.
03
The Lobster
Why this pick
It expands Dogtooth’s invented social rules into a larger world, preserving the dry comic cruelty, precise framing, and unsettlingly matter-of-fact absurdity.
04
Borgman
Why this pick
A polished bourgeois home becomes a site of bizarre, steadily escalating menace; its opaque logic and blackly comic restraint suit Dogtooth’s tone.
05
The Exterminating Angel
Why this pick
Buñuel’s social experiment traps privileged characters inside arbitrary rules, finding surreal cruelty and comedy in their collapsing manners and self-made confinement.

01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A couple and adolescent adult son and two adolescent daughters live in a fenced compound. The children have no knowledge of the outside world; their parents say they will be ready to leave once they lose a Dogtooth (anatomy), and that one can only leave safely by car. The children entertain themselves with endurance games, such as keeping a finger in hot water. They believe they have a brother on the other side of the fence to whom they throw supplies or stones. The parents reward good behaviour with stickers and bad behaviour with violence.
