Geordie (Thom Fitzgerald), a visiting Canadian pornographer, Bogdan (Mihai Calota), a reluctant city dog-catcher, and Nathalie (Alberta Watson), the lonely wife of a diplomat, each risks losing everything as they become embroiled in the struggles of Bucharest's abandoned children, gypsies, dogs and beggars. -- © Mongrel Media [More]

Reviews for The Wild Dogs
No one in this sterile film is redeemed, condemned or even particularly humanized. . . . Ultimately, Fitzgerald’s gutless film is a muddled, grotesque travelogue.
Highlights the trap a filmmaker can fall into when he believes himself to be smarter--better somehow--than an audience that must get tired of being underestimated.
The disillusioned porn photographer remains an entirely unconvincing anti-hero despite his pangs of conscience.
Fitzgerald's dialogue rings true, and he captures performances, including his own, which belie the film's low production values.
An uncommonly sensitive drama about the poverty and hardship suffered by [Bucharest's] Gypsy residents.
