Title: WOOF
Review: Except perhaps for Ingmar Bergman, every director has his clunkers. Truffaut, Hitchcock, Wyler all had their dogs. Renoir was no exception.The lighting here is harsh, the camera work monotonous and static, evoking more a slide show than cinematography. The closeups stop any drama dead on its tracks. The charming novella by Rumer Godden has been essentially transcribed to a screenplay with little sense of cinematic drama, and it just doesn't work.
