Anyone familiar with minimalist and truly independent Portuguese director Pedro Costa’s work will not be surprised by the unconventional style of the trailer for his latest seamless mix of documentary and drama, “Horse Money." Consisting entirely of high contrast static shots of poor and disenfranchised immigrants living in the Fontainhas area in Lisbon, the trailer doesn’t give a single hint regarding any possible narrative content, not that we should hold out much hope that there will be any....

But when a movie comes along like "White God" that features all of the dogs, well, we're going to go in with our tails wagging. And believe us, this movie is worth the time. Directed by Kornél Mundruczó and featuring some humans along with an insane amount of dogs... Читать дальше...
