Set in the hauntingly beautiful city of Bucharest during a cull of stray dogs,
The Wild Dogs weaves together a week in the lives of several of the city’s residents and visitors. Geordie (Fitzgerald), a visiting Canadian pornographer, Bogdan (Calota), a reluctant city dog-catcher, and Nathalie (Watson), the lonely wife of a diplomat, each risks losing everything as they become embroiled in the struggles of Bucharest's abandoned children, gypsies, dogs and beggars.
I`ve only read about the movie different comments on line,also in different Romanian newspapers.I disagree with the idea of making a movie depicting only negative aspects from a country,it sounds very abusive to me and insulting. Romania,particularly Bucharest is a very cultural country with many valuable traditions that should be explored and showed to the people.It`s a shame and unfair to be presented this way. Whoever made the movie, obviously doesn`t understand the complexity of the Romanian culture, did intentionally a hurtful and malevolently presentation choosing only the negative. I would come back with other remarks after viewing
My jaw dropped and I was captivated. The visual dichotomies of "give and take", and "rags and riches" made my heart ache. Hauntingly beautiful. Thank you.
I saw the movie last night on cable. The images are still haunting me.More Canadian movies like that, please.
