If you loved Man Facing Southeast, try Heart of a Dog
Un ponte tra un film che hai già visto e uno che quasi nessuno ha incrociato. Questo è ciò che condividono, e ciò che il secondo fa che il primo non fa.
Cosa condividono
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.
