A Finnish / Latvian movie with a funny name and a pitch tense with negative vibrations may seem to be a peculiar choice for the closing of a festival. The third feature film by the rare J.-P. Valkeapää invites you to put all your clichés in a box and make them explode with a generous dose of C4. Dogs Do not Wear Pants is marvellous, euphoric and galvanizing, the kind of movie we can’t wait to share with all our loved ones to remind them that we love leather. A fine auscultation of pain that transforms before our amazed eyes in pure movie-goer pleasure.
