Customer Reviews of My Life as a Dog
The Criterion version came out March 11, 2003 Any review of this DVD before that time is not worth evaluating. They may refer to the older DVD but they have nothing to do with the new Criterion. The Criterion is a far superior release in every way. The transfer is very nice, with warm colors and vibrant tones, albeit a tad soft at times. Audio is DD mono but serves it's purpose well. Extras include a 1973 film by the Director a new interview with him, a short essay by Kurt Vonnegut and the original trailer. Adults may want to screen this movie before letting their children view it as there are scenes with nudity and a few sexual situations. Then again if your kids watch foreign films then they are probably more mature than most! The only drawback I found was that about 45 minutes into the movie the subtitles start to lag behind the Swedish dialogue. This only lasts about two minutes but it can take you out of the story momentarily (hence 4 stars instead of 5). With that as the only caveat, there is no reason not to buy this wonderful new release of one of the very best childhood films ever made. Strongly recommended.
My Life As a Dog- Criterion
My life As a Dog is one of my favorite movies ever. The only changes I have noticed in the subtitles on the Criterion edition are that the line, "keep a tight rope," was changed to "keep up the tension," and that "bubbles" on the glass were changed to "blisters." There are no subtitles for "Shall We Go to Your Place, or My Place, or Each Go Home Alone?" Which I found to be a detractor. The trailer and main menu are satisfying, but the only really great part to the disc is the movie, the rest is filler.
Poignant Story of Childhood Losses
I was deeply touched by My Life as a Dog. It's a movie that tells an everyday story with courage and not a lot of sentiment, and it's all the more real for that. A boy loses both his mother and his beloved dog, and although he's adopted by his uncle, he can't forget what he's left behind. I found the story very unHollywood, and for that reason, quite refreshing. This movie tells a good story, and it does it superbly. The mention of Laika, the little Russian Space dog was also poignant.
