Film of the Week: THE DOG WHO WOULDN'T BE QUIET

THE DOG WHO WOULDN’T BE QUIET / EL PERRO QUE NO CALLA
A film by Ana Katz
(Argentina, 2021, 73 min. In Spanish with English subtitles)

“Sebastian is an ordinary man in his thirties who is utterly devoted to his loyal dog and works in a slew of banal temporary jobs. As he moves fitfully through adulthood, he navigates love, loss, and fatherhood—until the world is rocked by a sudden catastrophe, upending his already turbulent life. So abundant with warmth and vitality is this prescient Argentinian wonder, it’s a miracle that its 73 minutes can contain it. A funny, formally adventurous ode to the arbitrary phases of life, Ana Katz’s monochrome marvel pirouettes between the absurd, the mundane, and the existentially profound.” — MUBI
