Synopsis

In his adaptation of Hattie Naylor’s play Ivan and the Dogs, experimental filmmaker Andrew Kötting travels to the Chilean desert to recreate the life of the young boy who left his Moscow apartment to live with a pack of wild dogs. A crossover between narrative film and contemporary art piece.

MUBI's take

Another marvellous oddity from British avant-garde extraordinaire Andrew Kötting, Lek and the Dogs is an experiential meditation on trauma and society’s shortcomings through the multi-layered tale of a man choosing dogs over humans. Is this an antidote or a companion piece to Isle of Dogs?
