This quirky, coming-of-age cult classic from acclaimed Swedish director
Lasse Hallström tells the story of Ingemar, a 12-year-old working-class
boy sent to live with his childless aunt and uncle in a country village
after his mother falls gravely ill.
The year is 1959, and Ingemar
(Anton Glanzelius) is fixated by two major events – his namesake
fighting for the World Heavyweight boxing title; and the fate of Laika,
a dog sent into space by the Soviets. Fatherless and faced with his
mother's imminent death, Ingemar identifies with Laika’s journey into
the unknown as he searches for a place among his eccentric new family -
often with hilarious results.
Winner of the Golden Globe for Best
Foreign Film, and nominated for two Academy Awards, My Life as a Dog is
one of the most tender, nostalgic portraits of childhood ever put to
film.
