It was clearly something original and I really liked the fact that the director managed to create a dystopian future without one single futuristic gadget or... read more

¿Why success spoiled Giorgos Lanthimos? Artificial, incoherent, confusing, it is not a convincing world as in "Canino"; the stars are wasted. I preferred the unknowns -for non greeks- stars of his first films.

"1.5. 2024 The characters of "The Lobster" are living in a dystopian society where single people are sent to a mysterious hotel where they are forced to find a partner by following strict and absurd rules. If they aren't able to find a partner, they are going to be turned into an animal. Human psychology is a complicated phenomenon. Romantic love is a human privilege and it might sometimes feel so confusing that it is borderline absurd."
