Still waiting for the dog, eeh!c the film named El Perro (the dog).

I happen to have a lot of courage these days. Yesterday, I went to another Argentinean movie WITHOUT subtitles. This film was much more pleasurable than when I looked at the talky Volver.

EL PERRO (The Dog, 2004), is directed by Carlos Sorín, maybe best known for Historias Minimas.

I really liked El Perro, even though I did not understand everything the characters said. The dog is maybe excused.

I think Sorín has a sense for creating protagonists who can stand out as concrete moral questions to the world. In this film he use the dog as a metaphor for how the society tend to take care of people.

The film has warm characters fronted in a lot colder atmospheres in south Argentina - and the photography takes care of both kinds of landscapes. This make it a fascinating and visual enjoyable film.
