Straw Dogs
1971
***
Director: Sam Peckinpah
Cast: Dustin Hoffman, Susan George, Peter Vaughan, T.P. McKenna
An American academic and his English wife move to her small home village where the locals treat him like leper. Peckinpah's controversial drama attempts to show that any man will resort to violence if pushed far enough. I'm not completely convinced. Remade in 2011.
