Når halen logrer med hunden
Instrueret af Barry Levinson
USA's præsident er blevet grebet med bukserne nede lige før valget. Hans rådgiver Winifred indkalder spindoktor Brean, som indkalder filmproducenten Stanley til at ordne det visuelle i en afledningsmanøvre. En ikke-eksisterende konflikt med Albanien skal sikre almen frygt for terrorisme, så præsidenten kan vise, at han har styr på sagerne.

Når halen logrer med hunden-bedømmelser og anmeldelser
- Dennis Johansen5. marts 2026Great movie and quite relevant these days
- Delroy G James13. september 2025This sharp political satire still resonates today, showing how scandal can be buried under spectacle. Its pre-social media mechanics feel dated, but the core warning that truth crumbles when politics becomes performance fits our times perfectly. It’s a clever, unsettling, and very watchable film that I’d recommend for anyone curious about media, power, and manipulation.
- David Portela20. februar 2026This slow-burning gem conceals wonderful performances from all its leads. A prophetic warning about the power of media when it was made, 30 years later we have copious evidence that this work of fiction tells of a phenomenon that is, sadly, far too real. Younger viewers will catch themselves amazed at the effort required to produce images, music and clips that can be conjured into reality today with a simple prompt.
- mhamreus20. januar 2026Wag the Dog is one of those films that feels smarter and more dangerous with age. What played as razor sharp political satire in the late 90s now lands closer to unsettling prophecy. Directed by Barry Levinson, the film imagines a White House scandal so toxic that the solution is to manufacture an entire fake war to distract the public. The mechanics of spin, spectacle, and media manipulation are laid bare with a grin and a knife. Robert De Niro is perfectly restrained as the calm fixer, the man who never raises his voice because he never needs to. But the real engine of the film is Dustin Hoffman, who steals every scene as Stanley Motss, a Hollywood producer treating geopolitics like a studio problem. Casting, music cues, test audiences, and emotional beats are all just part of selling the story. Hoffman plays him loud, brilliant, insecure, and terrifyingly sincere. The genius of Wag the Dog is how casual it makes the deception feel. No grand villains. No evil monologues. Just professionals doing their jobs efficiently and with pride. The satire cuts deep because it never feels exaggerated. It feels organized. The film also nails the media ecosystem of its time while somehow predicting what was coming next. Short attention spans. Emotional imagery over facts. Narrative beats more important than truth. Once the machine starts moving, reality barely matters. This is a movie that could absolutely be made today. The scary part is that it would not feel like satire anymore. It would feel like a documentary with better lighting.
