Venice 2024: Egyptian Doggie Movie ‘Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo’

Mr. Rambo deserves our all the treats and all of our love! It’s a particularly impressive year for dog movies – and here is another one that goes right on the list of dog movies that deserve our admiration in 2024.

Black Dog (my review) from China and Dog on Trial (my review) from Switzerland both premiered at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. The Friend with a huge great dane in it just premiered at the 2024 Telluride Film Festival. And this one from Egypt titled Seeking Haven for Mr. Rambo just premiered at the 2024 Venice Film Festival this fall. It’s an adorable, heartfelt tale of a man who goes off on an adventure to find a safe forever home for his dog after he gets into a fight with his neighbor.
