«These are not dogs» could be a title loosely adapted from Magritte. Man’s best friend is liberated from the force of gravity, gliding through space and time in extreme slow motion and experiencing its rebirth as an abstract being. The laser beams and the driving melodic techno track by Vitalic hark back to the pop culture of the 1980s. A project about freedom, naivety and happiness.

Ultra-violent storytelling has never been my thing, but the issues with Scarface go beyond that.
