Dogman

"Dogman" is a dog beauty salon run by the modest Marcello, who takes care of four-legged animals of all breeds as if they were his own children. For some reason, the unsuspecting Marcello comes into conflict with Simoncino, a former boxer who, as a sudden fist hero, keeps the entire neighborhood under his reign of terror. To protect his dignity, Marcello is forced to respond to violence with violence. Garrone, who became famous with the tough mafia film "Gomorrah", after an interim detour into the world of fairy tales ("The Story of Stories") has once again found his way to the lower layers of Italian society, in which good people have to compromise their conscience in order to stay alive. The film, which premiered in competition at the Cannes Film Festival in 2018, won the best actor award for the lead actor Marcello Fonte.
