Joon-ho Bong: Barking dogs never bite


This is a wonderful little gem. A masterpiece in its simplest form. A simple and captivating story with simple but memorable characters. I literally loved every single one of them. (from the dog-loving old lady that likes to play in the park and spit on the ground to The "dog-loving" janitor) Plus, the movie manage to truly depict important themes like love, friendship, karma, fame and...dogs. Especially the little annoying ones. A lot of people have been offended by this movie apparently, but I am a Huge dog lover and I had a husky for 13 years and this movie did not shock me. I know none of them have been injured and everything is done with humorous taste. That's another positive point of the film, I laughed many times. This is the kind of movie that keeps my total attention from the first to the final scene, so much I don't want to miss even a second. 8.7/10

I know I liked it a lot when I saw it, but I remember very little about it all those years later. I should try to watch it again.
