Description
(2013) ‘Of Dogs and Men: Identity, Isolation and Otherness in Giorgos Lanthimos’ Dogtooth’
Presentation at Contemporary Greek Film Cultures Conference, Hellenic Centre, UK
Drawing on anthropological approaches, as well as theories of mobility and migration, this paper deals with issues of identity, isolation and otherness in a recent Greek film which has generated multiple popular and critical responses and interpretations.
The purpose of the analysis is to negotiate the relation between the ‘we’ and the ‘other’ and its significance for the construction of identity.
