Hard to Stomach but Well-Made and Poignant
It’s nothing brilliant, groundbreaking or innovative, but ‘Dog Days’ is for some reason an extremely fascinating character study. It’s like CRASH tripping on a bad dose of heroin, but not really. It’s an Austrian film following the lives of several depressed, deranged and annoying people and their abusive relationships with each other. It’s disturbing, yet very well-acted and it’s interesting to watch the crazy little things these characters do. Certainly not for the weak-hearted, this highly pessimistic film offers no conclusion or revelation at the end, we just see the lives of these sordid individuals over the course of two days. Grade: B

Oddly Compelling….
Not the sort of movie you expect to find for 99p in a medieval market town’s Cash Converters!

I HAD seen Dog Days before, probably on Film 4, where such oddities belong but unaware of this director’s subsequent films, though I had seen Import/Export on F4 but not made the connection.

Firstly, I find it strange that many, including some reviewers here have the notion that Austria to be a genteel place. They’re human as everybody is everywhere, whether that be LA, London or Vienna. And didn’t a certain A. Hitler come from Austria and more significantly, cinematic provocateur extraordinaire, Michael Haneke is Austrian and all his early movies were about and showing almost exactly the same kind of under-the-target unrest and spiralling human life of his fellow Austrians.

To be honest, whilst Haneke is much more the international film-maker (the Oscars in 2013, I believe?) and is much revered, critically, I find his rather sadistic and humourless approach just a bit too trying.

Uri’s sardonic and often ridiculous scenarios are often achingly funny – such as the habitual hitch-hiker who soon gets spouting off crazy top ten lists, obviously not knowing what they mean (top ten positions for lovemaking, for example, then, for most popular models of TVs).

Filmed in one long heat-wave with lots of (frankly) overweight Austrians removing their clothing as much as they can – and not just for sex – adds to the strangeness and won’t appeal to everyone, but in the 34C heat and in and around our own homes, wouldn’t we want to do this too?

There are quite long periods of fairly trivial talk about trivial things – but what might be trivial to the modern suburban Viennese, is actually strangely fascinating for us. Then, there are quite long periods of sadistic cruelty – visiting Haneke’s ‘Funny Games’ territory and as much enjoyment. These, as they should be, are an uncomfortable watch and their inclusion might be questioned, but I would guess are as otherwise the whole exercise would be a quirky, near freak-show comedy.

There are simply too may elements to go into – and if you’re not one who can handle a couple of minutes of actual hardcore orgy porn, filmed specially, not as a video on someone’s TV, simply ignore this movie. Over ten years have passed since this movie came out and time and viewing habits and expectations have obviously lessened many of the potential shock elements, now.

Indeed, there’s almost nothing new here, that hasn’t been said, now. That aside, no genre is seemingly unique now and Dog Days still appeals due to its fresh fizz and liberal attitudes. It still remains a unique viewing experience and for the liberally minded adult, has much to offer as both an offbeat social statement as well as entertainment.
