UPDATED! Another sequence from the film has been added, this one showing the bloody beginnings of the doggie revolution!
Talk about the dog days! Here is the opening sequence from WHITE GOD, an allegorical thriller about an uprising of dogs. The film won the prestigious Un Certain Regard Award at Cannes last year and is bounding its way toward U.S. and U.K. cinemas very soon, and this is a pretty good taste of what’s in store.
Directed by Kornel Mundruczo, WHITE GOD breaks down like this:
When young Lili is forced to give up her beloved dog Hagen, because it’s mixed-breed heritage is deemed ‘unfit’ by The State, she and the dog begin a dangerous journey back towards each other. At the same time, all the unwanted, unloved and so-called ‘unfit’ dogs rise up under a new leader, Hagen, the one-time housepet who has learned all too well from his ‘Masters’ in his journey through the streets and animal control centers how to bite the hands that beats him …
WHITE GOD comes out in the U.S. on March 27th; it hits the U.K. on February 27th.
