In The Lobster, the English-language debut of Greek master Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogtooth, Alps), single people have a predetermined period of time to find true love or else they are turned into the animal of their choosing and released into the woods. Keep reading! Colin Farrell (Seven Psychopaths, In Bruges) stars as David, a man who has just been dumped by his wife and, to make matters worse, is immediately sent to the mysterious hotel to search for a new partner while hotel employees keep their eyes on the clock. After several romantic misadventures, David decides to make a daring escape and abandon this world. He ultimately joins up with a rebel faction known as The Loners, a group founded on a complete rejection of romance who choose to live in the woods, away from society. Once there, David meets an enigmatic stranger (Rachel Weisz, The Constant Gardener, Youth) who stirs up unexpected and strong feelings within him. At once a full immersion into a strange and surreal world, and a witty and clever reflection of our own society, The Lobster is a thrillingly audacious vision fully brought to life by Lanthimos and his terrific cast—which also showcases great supporting turns from John C. Reilly (Cyrus), Léa Seydoux (Blue is the Warmest Color), and Ben Wishaw (The Danish Girl). The filmmaker displays a completely singular style and mastery of tone, finding the perfect balance between sharp-edged satire and romantic fable, that entertains its audience while also leaving them with lots to reflect on long after the credits have rolled.
