MÔJ pes Killer

Eighteen-year-old Marek lives with his father and attack dog Killer in provincial Slovakia. His absentee mother ran off with an ethnic Rom, the father of his stepbrother Lukás; The latter at once admires and fears his older brother, who hangs out with a group of far-right hooligans. Featuring amateur actors from the right-wing scene, the director concocts an atmospheric cocktail of racism, nihilism and latent violence with documentary-like depth. “No entrance for Gypsies” states a notice on the entrance door of a run-down pub. The protagonists have no sympathy; not for “Gypsies”, not for friends and family and not for themselves.
