Barking Dogs Never Bite
The Bong Show
January 7 - 14, 2020
Bong’s brilliantly cracked first feature, charting the hilariously warped chain of events that follow in the wake of a dog’s death, displays the audacious blending of genres and tones that would soon put him at the forefront of Korean cinema.
Bong’s brilliantly cracked first feature displays the audacious blending of genres and tones that would soon put him at the forefront of Korean cinema. Perturbed by the incessant yapping of a neighbor’s dog, a frazzled, out-of-work academic (Lee Sung-jae) resorts to drastic measures to quiet the canine, setting into motion a hilariously warped chain of events that turns a humble office worker (the brilliant Bae Doona, channeling Giulietta Masina) into a crusading, puppy-saving avenger. As always with Bong, black comedy, touches of horror, and incisive social commentary are balanced with the precision of a Swiss timepiece.
Playing as part of our Bong Joon Ho retrospective, January 7-14. See showtimes & get tickets.
