Plot

'Dogman' is a French action drama, written and directed by Luc Besson and starring Caleb Landry Jones, Jojo T. Gibbs, Christopher Denham and Grace Palma.

The film tells the incredible story of a boy, marked by a harsh childhood, who finds salvation through the love of his dogs. We will see how his affection for these animals helps him cope with the fact that he was abused by his father while he lived and grew up in the depths of New Jersey.

The young man is played by Caleb Landry Jones, an American actor who has participated in films such as 'The Last Exorcism' (2010) and (2011), where he plays the mutant Banshee. In 2012 he starred in the thriller 'Contrabando' by Baltasar Kormákur.

The French director Luc Besson has won numerous national and international film awards, with works such as 'The Big Blue', 'Nikita', 'Léon', 'The Fifth Element', 'Joan of Arc', 'Arthur and the Minimoys ', 'The Transporter', 'Lucy' and 'Valerian and the city of a thousand planets'. His previous film 'Anna' received negative reviews from critics and positive reviews from the audience.

For his latest film, 'Dogman,' he has chosen a virtual production facility in Essonne, France, from February to July 2022, and locations in Newark, New Jersey, in June 2022.

Trivia

Golden Lion

It was selected to compete for the Golden Lion at the 2023 Venice Film Festival.

Trained dogs

In total, 15 dog trainers were needed to get all the dogs necessary for the movie. Already-trained dogs were preferred to avoid wasting time on training new dogs. Before shooting the dog scenes, Caleb Landry Jones spent three days with the trainers and their dogs to get comfortable with the canines.

Composer

Long-time collaborator Éric Serra composed the music for the movie, and found the movie very emotional, as even though he's a seasoned veteran, he admitted that it's not often that he finishes a day's work with tears in his eyes.
