Dog Days (German: Hundstage) is a 2001 Austrian feature film directed by Ulrich Seidl. It is characterized by a disturbing naturalistic style which is a trademark of Seidl's directing. The film stars a mix of professional and amateur actors and it became mildly controversial for its depiction of unsimulated sex scenes.
The film follows six interwoven stories set in suburban Vienna over the course of a summer weekend. The film premiered at the 2001 Venice Film Festival where it went on to win the Silver Lion Jury's Special Award. John Waters has professed his admiration for the film, and selected it as a favorite to present within Maryland Film Festival 2004.
She crashed in my room
pushed her breast in my face
she said "you wanna bite, boy?"
started swinging her waist
Hot summer hits you like a hammer
the heat is overhelming
like junkies crowd goes around
seeking for relief
waiting it to ease
please let this be a dream
Dog days
She came all over me
I threw her to the floor
she said "you are a creep, boy!"
before slamming the door
Dog days
give a mind it's own play
it takes over
