Red Dog is a brilliant film and one which can be watched over and over. Scenery is stunning and soundtrack is amazing. There were a few tears shed watching it...

My sister sent the Australian issue of the DVD (region 4)over for Christmas, and with the other distractions it was some time before I finally popped it into a player. It quickly became apparent that none of my players were compatible and after a bit of research I decided against the route of chipping or re-programming one of the players via a universal remote, or purchasing an open player. So that left me with a couple of options, wait another 6 months while the distributor finally got round to covering Europe or something else. Well I'm just so glad I persevered with the latter.
Based on a book by Louis de Bernières (Corelli's Mandolin), Red Dog the film tells the story of a how a stray Red Kelpie affects the lives of the people he meets in the Western Australian mining town of Dampier. From the very opening scenes of the film you are captured by the characters and their stories about the dog. Some fantastic humour is contrasted with sadness, but the pathos is never over worked by the director. While clearly quite a different story, the style, gentle humour, evocative music and photography reminded me of Local Hero, one of my favourite films.
I really recommend making an effort to see this.

I absolutely loved this film. A great ensemble cast playing a wide range of outback misfits and battlers, and a structure that looks back over lots of little vignettes in Red Dog's amazing life - some funny, some sad, all very moving and beautifully done. Red Dog himself is hilarious and full of character. As soon as the movie finished I just wanted to watch it again. As a dog lover, I was a bit worried that I'd find it too sad, but it's not. It shows life in all its flawed glory - from the tragic, to the beautiful, to the ridiculous. A wonderful film set against the broad sweeping expanse of Western Australia's red dust in the '70s. Highly recommended.

A wonderful film
I initially saw this film as a rental from Love Film. I had not read any reviews previous to renting, so all I knew was it was about a dog in Australia. Read more

I love this film
Won't spoil it for anyone, but a really great film and a bit of a tear jerker. If you love dogs, you will love this. Also nice touches of comedy in there and not too schmaltzy.
