Hundstage
Dog Days is the English title of this Austrian film which takes place on a series of hot summer days. From 2001 Ulrich Seidl it looks at the lives of a number of dull middle class people who engage in their various practices – a number of them having sexual elements – who work and play and try to keep their lives going. It ends up being very depressing and rather sad as most of them cannot find what they want and grab whatever is going. It is not without its moments of interest but ultimately it is a film you want to have end. That is not to say that there is not a lot of authenticity about it. Seidl comes from documentaries and that is perhaps pretty evident.
