Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaIn total, 15 dog trainers were needed to get all the dogs necessary for the movie. Already-trained dogs were preferred to avoid wasting time on training new dogs. Before shooting the dog scenes, Caleb Landry Jones spent three days with the trainers and their dogs to get comfortable with the canines.
- Quotes
Douglas Munrow: I always liked disguises. It's what you do when you don't really know who you are, right? You dress up, you make up a past to forget your own.
Evelyn: Did you know anyone else? Somebody that could show you some attention or affection?
Douglas Munrow: A child takes affection where he can get it. They're my babies. As far as I can tell, they only have one flaw: they trust humans.
Featured review
Solid Besson
A new Besson, so a viewing is a must, but this time under subjectively difficult circumstances. I don't like dogs or men in women's clothes. So before the film started, I had to grit my teeth. As the film progresses, however, the story becomes less of a torture than I had feared and even gains my interest. The travesty isn't a tune-up, but an escape from oneself, the dogs an escape from people. The protagonist largely disappears into social asylum, but without becoming completely lonely. It sounds like a profound story, but it's not. You can blame Dogman for this, or you can simply realise beforehand what you can expect from Besson. A cinema kaleidoscope bursting with ideas, at first glance with heavy subject matter, but then remaining on the surface until the very end.
Worth mentioning in my subjective qualitative categorisation are some, not a few, negative reviews. "Weak story", yes, as with almost every fantasy film, that's where I would classify it. "One star" / "Two points", here the term "rubbish" really applies, a real rating should ultimately reflect the work on the entire film world. "Joker rip-off", yes, definitely about 5 per cent.
I can at least recommend Dogman to Besson fans.
