Because it didn't have enough traction with the people who vote for other categories. Pretty simple really. Dogtooth wasn't some phenomenon like say Crouching Tiger was when it was released.

I saw this tonight and I thought it was excellent. This is easily one of the best films I've seen in a while. It's like a David Lynch film and a Todd Solondz film made love and the product of their lovemaking is Dogtooth.

The film is very strange but not really all that hard to follow once you figure out what's going on. The acting is really great and the characters have a very real feeling to them which makes things even more frightening. There is almost no music in the film which adds to the overall eeriness of it. I loved, loved, loved the visuals in the film. It's shot exceptionally well. The film just has a very disturbing feel to it without even taking into account what it's about. It's also very funny. I found myself laughing more than I thought I would.

One of the scariest things about the film is that it doesn't really feel all that removed from reality. Just about everything in the film seems highly plausible in the right circumstances.

I highly recommend Dogtooth to anyone who loves weird-fucked up films. I hate this saying but it's not really for the faint of heart. I found myself cringing on multiple occasions.
