People read a lot into this film, and seeing that happen is one of the things that has been such a great experience for me (I made it). Some people see it as being about societal constraints. Others have seen it as a gay rights analogy. I will always point out first and foremost it's a comedy about what happens when a guy turns into a dog... but as I've said before, it's as deep as you want it to be. Glad it made you think!

The world has to be a sad place, berift of freedom for this story to be thought of... Maybe this can be achieved in a less Corporeal form? Oh Yes.. Cannabis.

I'd want to try that drug, to see if being a Dog is exciting as I think it would be. I've thought about this subject matter forever, so this is a touching movie for me.

Wow, thanks for thr response. My comment was in response to something someone said that's why it has a tone of seriousness. That said, I am aware the film has a satirical edge. Personally I found it to be helpful French practice! It's good when something you have made gets people talking. It must be satisfying that it is open to so much interpretation. Congrats on that.

Some people do live like that and often with dire consequences. Just look at the many dictators in the world and their opulent lifestyles with little care for tomorrow or who they affect. There's a reason for the human conscience and foresight.
