2018 in Film: the 15 best movies of the year

Dogman

(Italy, directed by Matteo Garrone)

Ten years after art house smash hit Gomorra,  director Garrone once again focusses on the underbelly of Italian society. Dogman evolves around Marcello, a sweet yet somewhat spineless dog groomer getting systematically exploited by local crook Nicole. When Marcello is persuaded to participate in a robbery, things run out of control. A dark, heart-breaking crime drama in the best Italian neo-neorealist fashion.
