Kino Lorber have provided complete details for the brand new 4K restoration of Yorgos Lanthimos' Dogtooth (2009), starring Christos Stergioglou, Michele Valley, Angeliki Papoulia, Mary Tsoni, and Christos Passalis.

Also included with this announcement is a brand new theatrical poster.

Description: Kino Lorber is pleased to present a new 4K restoration of Yorgos Lanthimos' breakthrough masterpiece DOGTOOTH (2009). Originally released in the US by the company in 2010, the film went on to secure an Academy AwardŽ nomination for Best Foreign Language Film and propelled Lanthimos' career to the forefront of contemporary cinema.

DOGTOOTH will open in a new 4K restoration on June 20th in New York City at the IFC Center and on June 21 in Los Angeles at the American Cinematheque.

Graceful, enigmatic, and often frightening, Dogtooth is an ingenious dark comedy that won the Un Certain Regard Prize at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival and an Academy AwardŽ nomination for Best Foreign Language Film, propelling OscarŽ winner Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) 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 compound 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 Noé, Dogtooth punctuates its compelling drama with moments of shocking violence, creating a biting social satire that is as profound as it is provocative.

Restored in 4K from the 35mm camera and sound negatives by Boo Productions and mk2 Films at Asterisk* Post and I Hear Voices sound studio. Colour grading by Gregory Arvanitis and Thimios Bakatakis. Digital sound restoration by Landros Ntounis. The restoration process was supervised by the director, Yorgos Lanthimos.
