Barking Dogs Never Bite
플란다스의 개
(2000) Directed by Bong Joon-ho
In his debut feature, director Bong Joon-ho (The Host) amps up the dark comedy to wickedly probe the weak spots in the social contract. A tale of what happens when good neighbots go bad, the film turns on a college lecturer driven to extremes by a yapping dog on his street. Pet lovers be warned: This satire has serious bite.

Cast: Lee Sung-jae, Bae Du-na, Im Sang-soo.
Presented in Korean dialogue with English subtitles. 35mm, 106 min.
