The 2019 Victoria Film Festival will be screening Dogman ahead of its theatrical release (on April 12. 2019) by Magnolia Pictures. Instead of waiting long, the rush is to see why this film earned many awards, including Best Actor at Cannes. Marcello Fonte is a tour-de-force.
Billed as a crime drama, this work is all about survival of the fittest. In canine society, it’s about who is the alpha? Juxtapositions will no doubt be in place for the lead. Marcello is a mild-mannered man who divides his days between working at his modest dog grooming salon, caring for his daughter Alida, and being coerced into the petty criminal schemes of the local bully Simoncino, an ex-boxer who terrorizes the neighbourhood. When Simoncino’s abuse finally brings Marcello to a breaking point, he decides to stand up for his own dignity through an act of vengeance, with unintended consequences.
