A Dog's Life One of our favourite films of recent years is Wisit Sasanatieng’s fantastical ice cream fever dream, Citizen Dog (Mah nakorn). It has it all: severed fingers, an undead cab driver, a man who obsessively licks other people's faces, a profane chain smoking teddy bear, and that's all in the first ten minutes. It's a love story, funny, whimsical and, as these stills attest, quite extraordinary looking. We first watched Citizen Dog at the 2005 London Film Festival and have been trying to track it down ever since, but with no European or American release the closet we've come is a ropey Chinese DVD with no English subtitles. So we've had to make do with Sasanatieng's incredible debut feature Tears of a Black Tiger (Fah talai jone) until now. A Hong Kong Citizen Dog DVD has just been released and it comes replete with all the subtitles you could ever need. You can buy it here and you really, really should. Posted: 30/01/07
