Set against the moody expanse of the Gobi Desert, Black Dog creates its own unique kind of western noir through its handsomely shot and absurdly droll tale of redemption. Filled with expansive imagery and percolating with sly cultural critique, this is a beautiful story of human–animal friendship told without excessive sentimentality.
'Guan Hu’s low-key Cannes winner is a heartfelt tale of outcast redemption.'
The Observer (UK)
