Dog Bites Man (2024)

Overview

In Dog Bites Man, two men (Evo and Darm) try to survive the night in their rented farmhouse after they suspect that their closest neighbor and/or other natives have declared war on them. Throughout the night, moments of comedic bickering between the charismatic and quick-witted men are juxtaposed with moments of violence, hatred, fear, insomnia, and threats of death. The saga is like a sustained duet in an opera, set against a backdrop of threatening, overweight, or possibly imaginary forces. As Evo and Darm attempt to understand why the neighbor and/or other locals would declare war on them, it becomes evident that the two men are outsiders, gourmets, and brandy aficionados, and those sins may be reason enough.
