ln this thriIIer, arguabIy Sam Peckinpah s most controversiaI fiIm, David (Dustin Hoffman), a young American mathematician, moves with his EngIish wife, Amy (Susan George), to the vilIage where she grew up. Their sense of safety unraveIs as the local men David has hired to repair their house prove more interested in leering at Amy and intimidating David, beginning an agonizing initiation into the iron Iaws of violent masculinity that govern Peckinpah s world. Working outside the U.S. for the first time, the filmmaker airlifts the ruthlessness of the western frontier into CornwalI in Straw Dogs, pushing his characters to their breaking points as the men brutaIize Amy and David discovers how far he Il go to protect his home culminating in a harrowing cIimax that Iays out this cinematic mastermind s eloquent and bIoody vision of humanity.
