Summary: Injury and implied death of dogs.
Details:
1) Irène Jacob hears a thump while driving (9:30) and discovers that she has struck a German Shepherd 9:43). We see the injured and bleeding dog taken to a veterinary hospital through 11:30. The dog recuperates completely, has puppies, and lives a happy life.
2) We see Jean-Pierre Lorit board a ferry with his dog near the conclusion of the film. The dog is not shown among the few survivors of an English Channel disaster.
The Red disc includes a superb video essay by Dennis Lim and the documentary Krzysztof Kieślowski: I’m So-So … (1995), created by Kieślowski’s collaborative assistant director Krzysztof Wierzbicki.
