Another Black Friday title announced from Severin Films.

THE DOGS (1979)

Five years after his SHOCK TREATMENT stunned European audiences, cult fantastique writer/director Alain Jessua delivered this startling thriller that remains the most controversial and prescient film of his career: In a corporate suburb outside Paris, the community’s new doctor discovers its leading citizens all get their dogs from a wealthy, charismatic trainer (an unsettling performance by Oscar® nominee Gérard Depardieu) – dogs that have a ferocious appetite for immigrants, rowdy youths, people of color and anyone who challenges the status quo. Victor Lanoux (COUSIN, COUSINE), Nicole Calfan (THE BURGLARS) and Fanny Ardant (CONFIDENTIALLY YOURS) co-star in “one of the most unexpected and original French films of the ‘70s” (DVDFr.com), now scanned in 2K from the interpositive for the first time in America.

Hounds And Music – Interview With Composer René Koering
Jessua Lives – Interview With Culturopoing Film Critic Emmanuel Le Gagne

I can't really stand Gerard D. in anything, unfortunately. So while this is probably a great film I will continue to

Keep the Dogs Away.

Sounds like Samuel Fuller's White Dog.
