LOS ANGELES - The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' executive committee has narrowed the 66 Oscar-qualifying foreign language films to nine, and the most surprising title to make the cut appears to be Greece's "Dogtooth," a film from Yorgos Lanthimos. Critics seem to really like the movie but also find it incredibly disturbing for its depiction of a remote family compound where the parents work to keep their young adult children locked in their home in a state of freaky pre-adolescence.
