Doghead (es|'''Cabeza de perro'''|links=no) is a 2006 Spanish drama film directed, written and scored by Santi Amodeo starring Juan José Ballesta and Adriana Ugarte.
Displaying a fable-like tone and an omniscient off-camera narrator, the plot tracks the mishaps of Samuel, affected by a rare neurological condition and overprotected by his family.[1]
A Tesela Producciones Cinematográficas and La Zanfoña Producciones production, the film had the participation of Canal Sur and Canal+. Shooting took place in Seville, Costa del Sol and Madrid.[2] [3]
Distributed by Alta Classics, the film was theatrically released in Spain on 6 October 2006. The film also screened at the 10th Shanghai International Film Festival held in June 2007.[4]
Jonathan Holland of Variety, deemed Doghead to be a "revitalizing, winsomely idiosyncratic" film, with the result of Amodeo's craft being "a visually striking, deceptively subtle item that revels in its unconventionality".[5]
Javier Ocaña of El País, considered that the film possesses "a very special magic and a strange poetry", blending in "a modern visualization and a script between the profound and the candorous".[6]
