Dogtooth by Yorgos Lanthimos is Greece's official submission to the 83rd Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film.  It was awarded the Prix Un Certain Regard at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival.  An absolutely mesmerizing film that entertains and disturbs equally and certainly one of the most unique scenarios I have ever seen.
