This is the first film in the Stuttgart Fantasy Film Festival.
Every year the Fantasy Film Festival begins with a special film, and this year
it's the new film by Luc Besson. The film is about a young boy called Douglas
whose father trains dogs for dog fights. He starves the dogs to make them
fight harder. Douglas pities the dogs and feeds them in secret. When his
father finds out he locks him in the cage with the dogs.
Douglas escapes, but he's confined to a wheelchair because of a gunshot wound.
He lives with his dogs in a disused high school. He has a university degree,
but because of his disability the only job he can get is as a drag queen. The
film is bizarre. I shan't say too much about it, but in one scene he reads
Shakespeare to his dogs while they sit attentively.
