Barking dogs Never Bite

07/28/2010

"No animals were harmed during the making of this film" is the disclaimer that appears in big, bold lettering at the beginning of Korean director Bong Joon-Ho's darkly funny 2000 debut. True enough, no doubt, but sure to offer little comfort to committed dog lovers, few of which will likely make it to the credits of this sardonic tale of one timid fellow's misplaced rage directed at the tiny canines in his apartment building, whose constant barking is slowly driving him potty, and his efforts to round them up and, er, 'dispose' of them.
