Quotes
“Combining stylistic echoes of veteran nouvelle vague masters like Jean-Luc Godard and Agnes Varda with an ultra-vivid, high-contrast color palette that recalls the work of Australian cinematographer Christopher Doyle, Starve Your Dog is an emphatically surreal oddity pitched at ultra-niche arthouse and festival crowds.” Stephen Dalton - The Hollywood Reporter
