Title:

Straw Dogs

Synopsis:

Sam Peckinpah examines the instinctual capacity for violence in his controversial 1971 film- loosely based on the novel The Siege of Trencher’s Farm. To avoid the Vietnam-era social chaos in the U.S.- American mathematician David Sumner (Dustin Hoffman) moves with his British wife- Amy (Susan George)- to the isolated Cornish town where she grew up- but their presence provokes antagonism among the village’s men. As the hostilities escalate from routine bullying to the gang rape of his wife- David finds his pacifistic self backed into a corner. When the hooligans attack his house- David finally resorts to the gruesome violence that he abhors. ~ Lucia Bozzola- Rovi
