A Dog Year
“Inspiration comes from all walks of life.”
Jon Katz is close to burnout. He's a writer with writer's block; his wife has left for her sister's because he's emotionally distant; he rarely answers his phone. A kennel sends him a border collie that's undisciplined because of abuse. Despite a series of mishaps, Jon decides to keep trying with the dog, and he rents a dilapidated farm house to give the dog room to run. A local handyman refers Jon to a woman who might be able to help him train the dog. Reluctantly, Jon gives her a try. Is the dog the problem, or the owner?
This film feels like a quiet, introspective journey of two lost souls finding solace in each other. It’s a gentle exploration of healing and the profound bond that can form between humans and animals, offering a sense of hope amidst melancholy.
