DOGMAN

19 OCTOBER

Matteo Garrone returns to Italy’s criminal underclass for a bitingly intimate, emotionally complex story about the way violence can corrupt even gentle hearts. Marcello Fonte plays a dog groomer and pushover; dealing cocaine to pay for his daughter’s holidays, his good nature is soon exploited. While the canine cast delights, Fonte deserves bestactor chatter as a hangdog you can root for.
