Poster and trailer for Kornél Mundruczó’s thriller White God

Last Updated on August 5, 2021

HOMEWARD BOUND on crack? Apparently, Hungarian filmmaker Kornél Mundruczó’s WHITE GOD is a movie we should all be paying attention to. And lucky for you guys, we’ve got the film’s first trailer right here. While I wouldn’t consider this to be an out-and-out horror film, it’s way too unique to ignore. Just take a look below and see for yourselves. The film is about a shit load of dogs deemed "unfit" by the The State who rise up against the humans who have discarded them. No doubt a strange concept, this one, but apparently it works because the film has already been hit with quite a bit of praise.

What it's about:

A story of the indignities visited upon animals by their supposed ‘human superiors,’ but it’s also an brutal, beautiful metaphor for the political and cultural tensions sweeping contemporary Europe. 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 will hit theaters thanks to Magnolia on March 27th, 2015. It stars Zsófia Psotta, Sándor Zsótér and Lili Horváth.
