A Boy and His Dog (1975)



In a post-apocalyptic world a boy communicates telepathically with his dog as they scavenge for food and sex.

Unusual, at times surreal and crude, but not fully convincing science fiction tale with quite a cynical ending.

Halliwell*: "Quirky science fiction, not to be taken too seriously, and managing a surprise ending."

Maltin**1/2: "Cult black comedy is definitely not a kiddie movie, despite its title."
