Some Dogs Bite – English Film of the Month
Some dogs bite comes with a Parental Advisory, the language in it is very “real”, lots of swearing, but that shouldn’t put you off. It shows a Britain that isn’t populated by Hugh Grant look-a-likes.
It tells the story of 3 brothers, H (18), Casey (14) and baby Severino, who have been split up after their mother’s death. Casey is in care; the baby Severino has been fostered with a view to adoption, and no one really cares what H does; even his mum thought he was a waste of space, but Casey is determined to keep the family together – running away from care, Casey snatches Severino from the baby’s foster parents, steals H’s stash of money and posts the cash to a PO Box in Inverness in the north of Scotland. His goal is to find his estranged dad, who moved back to Inverness years ago, a long way from London. To ensure his older brother’s help on the journey, Casey makes sure H will need to sign for the money – if H wants it back, he’ll have to join them on their road trip north.
