The latest dark fable from Matteo Garrone (Gomorrah, Tale of Tales) trains its unflinching gaze on mild-mannered Marcello (Marcello Fonte), a doting single father who owns and lovingly operates a one-man dog grooming business in a sparse Neapolitan suburb. When Marcello’s pliable friendliness leads him into an entanglement with the local bully, he finds himself increasingly alienated from the goodwill of his community, and his hardwon livelihood is placed in jeopardy. With its stark, chilly atmospherics and quietly propulsive narrative, Dogman left an indelible impression on audiences at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, where Fonte was awarded Best Actor for a performance of slow-burning intensity and raw sensitivity. A Magnolia Pictures release.
★★★★★ Brilliant, beguiling... one of the best Italian films of recent times.
—Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent
A well-crafted gem... the kind of fable Scorsese would tell his kids.
—Phil de Semlyen, Time Out
★★★★★ A movie with incomparable bite and strength.
—Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian
