QuickView
Story-line: after moving in from Paris, Doctor Féret notices that dogs and crime are omnipresent in his new town.
Pluses: good acting, a strange story, a creepy mood à la Hitchcock.
Minuses: none whatsoever.
Comments: you will enjoy this little-known flick featuring the versatile Victor Lanoux and Gérard Depardieu as a less than charming fellow. As a lure, I will add that LES CHIENS, aside from a few good chills, delivers three outrageous gags that you will long remember. The French never turn away from a good laugh, even in the oddest of circumstances… and this is one reason why they’re so endearing.
