I think I'll watch it tonight, it seems be to interesting. A film about fascism and abusive families sounds exactly like my type. Thanks for the suggestion ;-) You made me very curious about “Dogtooth”. I think I’ll watch it tonight, it seems be to interesting.

The leaping split or "downward dog hump" is where I part company with those girls. The only problem with parables about authority run amok is they're pretty much lost on people it's fully run amok on. I like the Bunuel stuff, but in my case, it's just like going to a family dinner and listening to my aunt recite some poems she's written for the occasion. The difference is after a Bunuel film, my wife never says "There's no way in hell you'd ever be able to work full time. Not with that background."

Biutiful was saddest. Dogtooth: Most bizarre movie ever, very surreal, Bunuel/Dali "Un Chien Andalou"-ish but, errmm, worse. And yeah, you've never seen so many NPR donors scavenging for food as if THEY WILL NEVER EAT AGAIN. Wow. It's too bad for Algeria, having the last film. Just couldn't give a crap. It doesn't help that the characters are mostly, sort of, jerks. Yes, we agree: Incendies was best. Biutiful was saddest.
