The time has come: On Thursday, 23 Sept 2021, the Finnish film DOGS DON'T WEAR PANTS will be released in selected theaters. It is the third feature film by director Jukka-Pekka Valkeapää. And it really gets under your skin: years after the tragic death of his wife, Juha (Pekka Strang) develops an unexpected but strong connection with a dominatrix named Mona (Krista Kosonen), who takes his breath away at his own request. But in the midst of suffocating, Juha experiences comforting hallucinations and his life takes on new meaning...
The cult hit of the 53rd Hof International Film Festival goes far beyond borders in its narrative. Because "the play with power, the lust for pain and lots of shiny latex make 50 SHADES OF GREY look like kindergarten." (empire online) "This dark Finnish comedy comes with a quirky streak and plenty of raw emotional energy." (Time Out) "Audiences will be whimpering for a safeword..." (Screen Daily).
So put on your pants and go see DOGS DON’T WEAR PANTS.
