"City and the Dogs (La Ciudad de los Perros)"
1985
Directed by Francisco J. Lombardi

A terrific film adaptation of the great South American novel by Mario Vargas Llosa, The City and the Dogs is the powerful story of a young man's upbringing in the military academy, and eventual disillusionment with both the military structures, the power which they represent, and the system which they enforce. The original title of Llosa's novel was "Time of the Hero". Spanish with English subtitles. 135 minutes.
