#611 - Dogs Don't Wear Pants: Finnish Fetish - WatchThis W/RickRamos

J-P Valkeapää's Dogs Don't Wear Pants This week Mr. Chavez & I explore Finnish Cinema with a look at J-P Valkeapää's Dogs Don't Wear Pants. A brave and troubling look at emotional trauma, BDSM, and auto-ertotic asphyxiation, Valkeapää's 2019 erotic black comedy is an exploration of the erotic underground subculture of dominance and submission. There's a great deal to admire in this film including the lead performances of Pekka Strang as a widowed single father struggling with death of his wife seven years earlier, and Krista Kosonen as the woman he meets and whose dominatrix skills he  becomes consumed by. A film that is not for the squeamish or prudish, but one that gives insight into - some of - the workings of this sexual subculture. Not all of the film works, but what is there speaks louder than the majority of American films that claim to tackle sexuality. Take a listen, give the movie a watch, and let us know what you think. As always, we appreciate the continued love and support. We continue to be available to you at [email protected].
