Review by Guifré Margarit i Contel | 07 February 2025
Black Dog boasts stunning photography, with wide shots, pans, and tracks capturing the vastness of the Gobi Deserts and the desolation of the town where our story takes place.
The quiet but cool protagonist and his dog share amazing chemistry, with touching parallelisms to their “stray dogs” behaviour and relation to society and their surroundings.
Unfortunately, the other stories in the film, particularly the love story, fail to reach the same level of engagement and quality.
