The way, I figure it, Dogs in Space is less a movie with an ultimate resolution to the story, and more a celebration of a lifestyle and time period, many lived and loved. I am not sure(don't quite remember) how I came to see this but I think I rented it which just shows it was findable, at that time anyway.
I can't, if I am being honest say I loved this movie but I will say it had a strong pull and I have no trouble seeing why someone else would love it. Anyone who has lived through and loved the Punk movement should probably see this(if they can find it.) I cannot say everyone will love it but it is a movie that will appeal to those, who have the ability to relate to it.
One of my Main problems with Dogs in Space isn't the lack of structure or plot, it is the fact that despite the positives, I was bored when Michael Hutchence wasn't on the screen. He was so good that he overshadowed everything else. That's the way it was for me anyway.
I do wish that movies like this were still made(perhaps they are and I just can't find them.) I can appreciate movies that may reach few, but will deeply affect those they do reach. The 80's were a wonderful time period, and many interesting obscure films came out from then. This movie seems to have somewhat of a following which is nice, though I didn't love it, I can appreciate it and if one were to view it now, it probably would make someone wonder, where are these types of movies now? My vote is 6.5 out of 10 for the movie and 10 for certain elements such as atmosphere and certain performances. A must see for any punk rockers, fan of Inxs, or people with a taste for the offbeat.
