Blu-Ray Review: Lasse Hallström’s Marvelous, Bittersweet ‘My Life as a Dog’
Submitted by mattmovieman on September 22, 2011 - 7:25amCHICAGO – Neither flat-out depressing nor mawkishly sentimentalized, Lasse Hallström’s 1985 Swedish classic, “My Life as a Dog,” avoids all the mistakes routinely committed by filmmakers working within the coming-of-age genre. It doesn’t view events through a treacly nostalgic haze and doesn’t condescend to its characters as if they were all quirky eccentrics ripe for satirizing.
