This isn’t the first film to serve up redemption through a furry emissary – and it won’t be the last. Guan Hu’s Chinese drama-cum-western-cum-state-of-the-nation missive won Un Certain Regard at Cannes this year – but more importantly, its heavy canine quotient meant it also bagged the second prize in the festival’s Palm Dog award. Its heartwarming aspect comes framed with real grandeur, and a stark absurdism and tightly wound sentimentality reminiscent at times of Takeshi Kitano.
…
the splendid desolation of the vision of China makes the film’s feelgood belly-rubs feel all the more vital.

Had me at Takeshi Kitano. 🥰
Also, I’m a complete sucker for a coated Xolo, NGL. 😱🥹
