Product Description
Having set up practice in an affluent Paris suburb, doctor Henri Ferret (Victor Lanoux) found himself treating an inordinate number of canine bites. His queries brought him to charismatic local Morel (Gérard Depardieu), a dog trainer who’d ingratiated himself with the community’s elite… and whose “graduates” had a knack for attacking anyone unfitting the status quo. Alain Jessua’s charged thriller co-stars Nicole Calfan, Fanny Ardant, Pierre Vernier. 100 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: French; Subtitles: English; featurettes; theatrical trailer. In French with English subtitles.
Review
★★★★ Jessua’s most disturbing film… More than three decades after it was made, it continues to be scarily pertinent. –FrenchFilms.org
A worthwhile film with surprising complexity… As in SHOCK TREATMENT, Alain Jessua is adept at intimating a large political conspiracy from his thriller elements. –Time Out
Compelling and highly original… Jessua is a maverick whose work, like that of Samuel Fuller, explores controversial subjects in a bold, cinematic style. –New Wave Film
