At the Venice Film Festival, Luc Besson's film "Dogman" received a 6-minute standing ovation from the audience and jury, Buro reports.

The film tells the story of a man who from childhood is accustomed to trust only dogs, but not people. He is sure that only dogs are capable of boundless devotion to a person and a willingness to follow all his orders.

"Dogman" was the first success of Besson after a series of cinematic failures - the box office failure of the tapes "Valerian and the Cities of a Thousand Planets" and "Anna" and the collapse of the studio EuropaCorp.

During the applause given to "Dogman" by the audience, Luc Besson was moved and could not hold back his tears. At a press conference after the premiere, he told reporters: “The only two things that can save you are love and art, and certainly not money. When you have both, you are lucky.”
