38th Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinema Winners

The Greek film Dogtooth by director Yorgos Lanthimos won the $15,000 Louve D’Or prize at the 38th Montreal Festival du Nouveau Cinema at the weekend. The seriously twisted black comedy stunned audiences world wide starting at Cannes where it picked up the Prix Un Certain Regard. Always unpredictable and certainly provocative, the picture is bound to raise a few questions and eyebrows. You can read our review here or listen to it here.
