Hundstage (English title: Dog Days) takes place during the hottest days of the summer. The heat is unbearable and during this heat we follow the lives of a couple of strange characters. There is a constantly hitchhiking and talking woman, annoying the shit out of people giving her a ride, a recently divorced couple still living in the same house, a shallow young man abusing his girlfriend, an overweight security insurance representative, a woman who has a strange relationship with a white trash guy and a grumpy old man trying to find love after his wife passed away. The problem with movies with a big cast with multiple stories is that some of them don’t really work out compared to the rest. However, Hundstage manages to stay interesting the entire time. Especially the first hour is wonderful. There are countless super awkward situations which are wonderfully terrible to watch. The acting by the entire cast is great, not ashamed to put themselves out there in some very vulnerable positions. Halfway through the movie it almost loses sense, the awkward scenes are just drifting along and the overall message seemed to be lost, but just when it gets the tendency to become a little dull it recovers. In the end, when it starts to pour rain it’s not just a release from the heat, but also a release from the heat built up in the characters themselves. A nice message to humanity as a whole. The last words of the movie (. The contrast between almost idyllic Austrian sceneries and the horrible lives these people live is poignant yet very compelling. Seidl made a strong movie with a beautiful message, hidden in some horrible situations.
