Dog Sweat
Hossein Keshavarz
Categories: Golden Rock Narrative, Narrative Feature Competition
Average Rating:
Rated 3.56436712613286/5 Stars
My Rating:
Run time: 90 min. | Iran
Dog Sweat is a courageous film by Hossein Keshavarz. Filmed in secretly Iran, the film explores issues in contemporary Iran with homosexuality, feminism, sexual freedom, and the contradictions of being part of a majority youth culture ruled by an aging tradition of the religious authority. Trapped within this oppressive culture, the lives of seven young Iranians converge in Keshavarz’ film, as they learn to negotiate their cultural identity and desire for social freedom. Dog Sweat provokes stirring conversations about what it means to be a nation and how to negotiate being Iranian and modern. WINNER: SPEICAL JURY MENTION NARRATIVE FEATURE

Admired the fact that these filmmakers went out and risked so much to make this film, but sadly the story didn't feel that original or entertaining to me. It was like 4 short stories that made up a feature length movie. The characters had their struggles and we got a glimpse of life in Iran, but the technical issues with the film along with simply not being impressed by their story says give it 3 stars. Still a good film, but was expecting a lot more.
