First cypriot film i've seen with any personality.

As a Cypriot who has watched a lot of movies, both cypriot and non cypriot. This movie is a wonderful step forward for the film industry in the country of Cyprus, cause it showcases something unheard of in the film industry of this country. And that is a movie that takes actual chances to polarize audiences. Yes this movie is probably not for everyone since it touches a lot of weird subjects...and that is fine. That is what a film is all about, taking chances, saying your truth and be original. Yes this movie is far from a perfect film, but its infinitely better in my eyes as a film watcher from a standard, boring no risks taken 5/10 film that i will forget about by tomorrow evening. I genuinely want more films from this country to take risks and attempt what this film did. I dont do reviews normally but the lack of positive reviews for this film left me with a deep sense of sadness and i had to give my 2 cents to it.Overall: Interesting film that wont leave ya bored out of your mind watching it and ranks in the top 2 films for me by Cyprus right beside Smuggling Hendrix (funny enough both with dogs main themes)

D and the Ex-Con

«.dog» is the first movie by Cypriot filmmaker Yianna Americanou. She was trained as film director in the United Kingdom and United States, and perhaps that partially explains the rather epidermic treatment of her characters and the situations they get involved in, and the excessive use of extradiegetic music, being these two traits frequently found in mainstream films produced in both countries, with detrimental effects.The story centers around the encounter of an ex-con with his young son, who is close to achieving emancipation, when he leaves the State "hostel for orphans" where he lives. Dimitris or D --as many call him-- grew up without his father, but has done rather well, and befriended another young man in the hostel, who serves as alternate family. But when the father is out of jail, his presence begins to erode D's future perspectives. The drama that unfolds is predictable, its vicissitudes are formulaic, it reaches an unconvincing happy ending, and the music score and songs do not help much.However, there is energy and sincerity in the performance of young actor Dimitris Kitsos as D, the color cinematography is attractive and Americanou uses very good locations that visually help the movie a lot. Not a bad start but it could have benefited from a better screenplay.
