Parents...they make your life interesting

Only a couple of weeks before Cannes International Film Festival starts. Sometimes the movies are released immediately after the festival and sometimes it can take up to a year or occasionally more.  One such film that's been worth waiting for is Dogtooth winner of Un Certain Regard 2009 .  A dark but humorous movie that takes a look at a family who's mother and father want to preserve the innocence of their teenage children.  The director Yorgos Lanthimos and two of his lead actors Aggeliki Papoulia and Christos Passalis were in Cannes last year to promote the movie.  Having just seen the movie it's ironic that there was a reception going on at the time of the shoot and we just about managed to find a small corner with no room for lights to shoot.  The movie is currently showing at the Curzon Renoir cinema.
