About The Birthday of the Dog
Two men who kill their wives so they can be together. A tailor goes from having his dog as his best friend to a young man, in a friendship that becomes so very close that the younger man murders his wife. He is helped by the other man. The husband wants to help him, but his wife wants to turn him in to the police. So he also kills his wife.
Directed by Jaime Humberto Hermosillo, The Birthday of the Dog leans on a strong ensemble — Jorge Martínez de Hoyos, Diana Bracho, Lina Montes — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about crime titles of 1975.
