Dogtooth (2009) Blu-ray

Kino Lorber have announced that they will release on Sept. 3rd

Quote:

Synopsis: Graceful, enigmatic, and often frightening, Dogtooth is an ingenious dark comedy that won the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, propelling Yorgos Lanthimos to the forefront of contemporary cinema's most ambitious young filmmakers.

In an effort to protect their three children from the corrupting influence of the outside world, a Greek couple transforms their home into a gated compiound of cultural deprivation and strict rules of behavior. But children cannot remain innocent forever. When the father brings home a young woman to satisfy his son's sexual urges, the family's engineered "reality" begins to crumble, with devastating consequences.

Like the haunting, dystopic visions of Michael Haneke and Gaspar Noe, Dogtooth punctuates its compelling drama with moments of shocking violence, creating a biting social satire that is as profound as it is provocative.

Special Features:

NEW audio commentary with stars Angeliki Papoulia and Christos Passalis
NEW discussion between Yorgos Lanthimos and Kent Jones (courtesy of Film at Lincoln Center)
Interview with Yorgos Lanthimos
Deleted Scenes
Reversible artwork
Trailers

This will be a blind buy. I loved The Favourite and The Killing of a Sacred Deer.

_iesse · 07-09-2019, 03:43 AM

You will not be disappointed then, movie wise.

mparisi · 07-09-2019, 12:15 PM

I've enjoyed all of Yorgos' films so far, but this is my favorite by a wide margin. Will def be picking this up.

Bradsdadg · 07-09-2019, 12:36 PM

This has interested me for a while but I have yet to watch. I'll probably pick it up when Kino puts it out

Heapashifter · 07-09-2019, 03:58 PM

Just adding a commentary and a discussion won't be enough to make me buy it again. Was hoping for more.

javy · 07-09-2019, 04:01 PM

Dammit. When I read Dogtooth my brain automatically processed it as Dogville and I immediately got excited. I was disappointed when I came to my senses.

Anyway, Dogtooth is an excellent film, but I'm happy with the previous release.

Rizor · 07-09-2019, 10:23 PM

I have the UK release because it was much cheaper than the first Kino release. Think I'll get this one. Cover looks nice. New extras.

I wonder if this could look better though. The existing transfer looks kinda dated for a movie that's only 10 years old.

Lord Summerisle · 07-09-2019, 10:34 PM

Excellent. I've wanted to get this for a long time. It's the same transfer as the old release then?

145gtw · 07-25-2019, 04:47 PM

It's now up for pre-order on Amazon.

eightslicesofpie · 07-26-2019, 02:59 PM

Surely will grab this and Alps. Probably will just go place a preorder now, actually.

Since I've never bought a Kino Lorber release before: what is the usual release day price on them? And do they come with slipcovers?

Really just depends on the title.

Also, there appears to be two separate listings for the new Dogtooth release. Other than cost, how do they differ?

145gtw · 08-21-2019, 11:14 AM

Looks like DiabolikDVD now has both Dogtooth and Alps in stock.

eightslicesofpie · 08-30-2019, 08:35 PM

I talked to Amazon customer service and confirmed that the UPC for the 19.99 blu-ray listing matches the DVD UPC on Kino's website. I told them about the error, and they assured me I'll be getting a blu-ray in the mail, which I severely doubt lol but if I don't I'll just hit them up and say "hey send me a blu-ray"

We'll see if they decide to fix the listing before then or if they're gonna get a ton of people mad about finding a DVD in their mailbox when the item they ordered was described as a blu.

I tried to help!!

Waiting for reviews before placing an order...

You can read Dogtooth reviews. KL released this blu-ray a while ago. It's just a re-release.

eightslicesofpie · 09-03-2019, 02:26 PM

As expected, a DVD came in the mail, so talking to customer service now. How fun

EDIT: For anyone else in the same boat as me, here's what happened:

They offered replacing the item so I said okay, then when I checked the replacement order it linked to the same incorrect product.

So I contacted customer service again, explained the situation for a third time, and they confirmed the replacement was going to be the DVD again. They said they could not issue a replacement for a different item, so they said they could offer a return/refund, and then issued me a $10 promo credit for the inconvenience. So once the refund hits I'll order the correct one

Maybe after all this they will finally change the listing to the correct thing, which is what I suggested to all 3 people I spoke to, but who knows

submergedindirt · 09-03-2019, 06:26 PM

If anyone else has this issue, I suggest contacting amazon and being persistent about them resolving it. Took me speaking with 4 people to get them to approve a refund before receiving the returned item. Took Kenes approximately 5 minutes and I had my full refund and the correct item ordered, atleast I hope this one will be correct... bought the more expensive of the 2 "blu-ray" options this time.

"Me: I require an instant refund on an item that was received today not as described.
You are now connected to Kenes from Amazon.com
Kenes: Hello, my name is Kenes. I'm here to help you today.
Me: Order# 000000000000000
Kenes: Thanks for the order ID
I've checked the available options for the item Johnny.
I'm sorry we don't have an instant refund for this item.
If you wish I can create a replacement for the item or return label. You can return the item back for a refund.
Me: Yeah, that's what the last person said. Which is of course totally unsatisfactory since it was Amazon's fault that their item description is incorrect and I got the wrong product because of that.
Kenes: I can understand your situation Johnny, Let me check with my lead for alternate options.
Could you please allow me a moment so that I can help you with this really quick?
Me: Yes, I'm also able to point to other customers that have had this issue with the same product.
Kenes: Thanks for waiting Johnny.
I'll issue a refund for the item right away, You can return the item within the return window.
Would you like the refund to be credited to your gift card balance or original payment method?
Me: Gift card balance please.
Kenes: Done Johnny. I've processed the refund to your gift card, Refund will be credited to your account within 12-24 hours.
Me: Thank you. You are the 4th person I've contacted about this. I wish it would have been this easy on the first try.
Kenes: Glad I could help you Johnny.
Is there anything else I can do for you today?
Me: No, that is all.
Kenes: Thank you for contacting Amazon. Please click on "End Chat" to close this chat.
Have a great day ahead!"

eightslicesofpie · 09-03-2019, 07:23 PM

Yeah my refund never issued, so I had to contact them a third time and ask for an instant refund, which they granted; then I went to order the correct product but the $10 credit they promised wasn't there, so I had to contact them a fourth time and now it's finally all working and I'm shipping the DVD back tomorrow lol

What a headache

Snicket · 09-03-2019, 08:56 PM

Oh god I ordered off amazon. Ready for a fun time when I open my package later.
