Wiener-Dog (2016)

 

A dachshund passes from oddball owner to oddball owner, whose radically dysfunctional lives are all impacted by the pooch.

As to be expected from this director this episodic film is downbeat, bleak and tinged with a dark humor, but more subdued, probably due to the shortness of each story; still, we get some great performances and enlightening moments, although the dog himself seems to be merely the unwilling observer of the events told.

On re-watching: indeed bleak, but fascinating to watch.
