This is an English-language release.
Dog Pound doesn't hide its despair about the juvenile prison where its story takes place.
From young French director, Kim Chapiron (who made 2006 film, Sheitan), this drama is a chilling walk through a training ground for violence and aggression.
Able to stand up on its own bare-boned terms to comparisons with Jacques Audiard's A Prophet, Dog Pound follows three young offenders with a camera that couldn't be closer to the skin.
Cinematographer Andre Chemetoff sustains that tactility throughout the film, so the cramped spaces are felt as much as seen.
The film won the Best New Narrative Filmmaker Award at the Tribeca Film Festival 2010.
