The CEU  Department of Philosophy cordially invites you to the next screening
of its Philm Club series:

KYNODONTAS (Dogtooth, 2009)

Directed by Giorgos Lanthimos

Greek with English subtitles, 94 min.

Three grown children of an upper class Greek family have never left the premises of their home and are only allowed to know of the outside world whatever the parents decide is best for them. They are thought different meanings of the words that refer to anything outside their small world; they are told men are eaten by cats and that they can only leave home when their dogtooth falls out. Is it a disturbing educational experiment gone astray? Is it a social or political allegory? Is it about growing up or being manipulated? Giorgos Lanthimos makes sure to leave all interpretations open. Winner of Un Certain Regard at the Cannes film festival.
