The Memories of Dogs (La Memoria Dei Cani)

Plot Summary

What do we remember of our past and how do our earliest experiences affect who we become? In this beautifully drawn, impressionistic mood piece, Italian director Simone Massi presents a sensitive exploration of childhood, evoking a particular time and place and emotional landscape. While the narrative is more suggestive than explicit, the film’s oblique perspective gives added power to the traumatic event that lies at its core.
