About This Movie

MOONDOG is quite the peculiar blend of documentary and drama, a docufiction that dives into the life of Khairy Beshara, an Egyptian filmmaker who undergoes a surreal transformation into a dog. It’s not just about his bizarre fate but really delves into the emotional fallout on his family—his daughter's wedding and the shadow of his wife's depression add layers of depth. The pacing feels almost dreamlike, and there’s a raw authenticity in the performances that keeps you engaged. The practical effects, though minimal, complement the story's strange premise without overshadowing the poignant themes of loss and identity. It’s definitely an oddity that stands out for its unique narrative approach and exploration of familial bonds, leaving an impression that lingers after the credits roll.
