Hoezo in KINO

There’s a lot of Lanthimos to go around in 2024 and that is a very good thing. To celebrate the Greek director’s rekindling with wayward writer Efthimis Filippou for his latest Kinds of Kindness, KINO is excited to screen their first collaboration from 2009, Dogtooth. This strange and quite disturbing tale of paternal dictatorship and three siblings coping with growing older in captivity excited audiences and critics alike as the film ushered in the Greek New Wave. Greek language with English and Dutch subtitled versions.

Storyline

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.
