Dog's Dialogue
(Le Colloque de chiens)
“What interests me are all the possibilities of relations, misunderstandings, between what is seen and what is said” (Raul Ruiz). “For the delightful Dog's Dialogue, Ruiz took a lurid tale found in a popular press crime magazine, cut out phrases and made a new story in which the same phrases were repeated in relation to different events. Hilariously weaving still photographs into a bizarre account of murder and adopted children, Ruiz creates a modernist homage to the Latin American photo-novels from which he drew so much inspiration. Winner of the ‘Cesar' (French Oscar) for Best Short Film” (Richard Peña).
