The screening will be introduced by Oscar-nominated editor Yorgos Mavropsaridis, editor of Dogtooth and Lanthimos' longtime collaborator.

After months of anticipation due to its digital restoration, we are excited to inform you that Dogtooth will screen at The Garden Cinema as a one-off screening ahead of its official re-release!

This disturbing and provocative pitch-black satire put Yorgos Lanthimos’ name on the map after it won the Un Certain Regard Prize in Cannes and Best International Film at the Oscars.

'Stirring, violent, and more than a little bit bizarre, Dogtooth is perhaps the foremost example of the new wave of Greek cinema. Ominous, provocative, and surreal, [...] Yorgos Lanthimos laces his debut with the slightest hint of mordant humour. Much like that of Lars von Trier, his work inspires the sort of laughter that comes with a flinch.' - Christina Newland, Sight & Sound

Synopsis:

In an effort to protect their children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a couple transforms their home into a gated compound of cultural deprivation. When the father invites a trusted outsider into their home their reality begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.
