Heart of a Dog is a personal essay film that explores themes of love, death, and language. The director’s voice is a constant presence as stories of her dog Lolabelle, her mother, childhood fantasies and political, and philosophical theories unfurl in a seamless song-like stream.

Renowned multi-disciplinary artist Laurie Anderson returns with this lyrical and powerfully personal essay film that reflects on the death of her husband Lou Reed, her beloved dog Lolabelle, and such diverse subjects as family memories, surveillance, and Buddhist teachings.
