We all know the movie “Dog Day Afternoon.” But that was Hollywood’s abridged version. Thirty years later, John “The Dog” Wojtowicz sits down with filmmakers Allison Berg and Frank Keraudren for this provocative look into the life of the man behind the polarizing bank robbery. Quick to invoke his raging libido, John details his salacious life before the robbery and his involvement in the early days of the NYC gay liberation movement. After the robbery, John becomes a media celebrity, and not always for the right reasons. He even applies for a job at the Chase bank he robbed. John is the focus of attention in THE DOG, and his unapologetic, brash personality commands this retrospective. Through a revealing series of interviews with his mother, his ex-wife, and a number of other friends, lovers, and activists, we’re given a complex portrait of a deeply flawed man who fought for what tore him apart: love. —C.P.
