If you loved Homme regardant au sud-est, try Cœur de chien
Un pont entre un film que tu as déjà vu et un que peu de gens ont croisé. Voici ce qu'ils partagent, et ce que le second fait que le premier ne fait pas.
Ce qu'ils partagent
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 Homme regardant au sud-est, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Cœur de chien 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.
