If you loved Man Facing Southeast, try Heart of a Dog
Eine Brücke zwischen einem Film, den du schon gesehen hast, und einem, den kaum jemand kennt. Das teilen sie, und was der zweite macht, was der erste nicht macht.
Was sie teilen
Theyboth carry the foreign gem, outsider, surreal mood tags, and they sit in Drama / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Man Facing Southeast, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Heart of a Dog is
A canine citizen of Moscow gets a crash course in humanity, with all the bureaucracy and bad manners included. After a surgeon implants a dead man’s pituitary gland into stray dog Sharik, he emerges as the wonderfully crude Poligraf Sharikov, a man who quickly learns to vote, complain, and demand housing. The film’s idea of resurrection is less miracle, more municipal nightmare.
