The City and the Dogs (1985)★ 7.6/10

Adapted from the novel of the same name, this Peruvian film scratches at the surface of moral corruption within military institutions, merely points fingers at the hypocrisy and selfishness of the military, and lacks the depth to fully confront human nature, stopping short of offering a more nuanced social critique. Set in a 1950s military academy, the film exposes the contradictions and harsh realities of Peruvian society during that era.
