“The Lobster” (2015) is Yorgos Lanthimos’ darkly comic dystopian film set in a world where single people are given 45 days to find a romantic partner or be transformed into an animal of their choosing. Colin Farrell delivers one of his finest performances as David, a newly single man who checks into a hotel dedicated to matchmaking, while Rachel Weisz plays a short-sighted woman he meets after escaping to join a rebel group of singles in the woods. Lanthimos’ deadpan direction and the cast’s deliberately stilted performances create an unsettling atmosphere that satirizes society’s obsession with coupledom and the arbitrary nature of romantic compatibility. The film received critical acclaim for its original premise and biting social commentary, winning the Jury Prize at the Cannes Film Festival and earning an Academy Award nomination for Best Original Screenplay. With its 87% Rotten Tomatoes rating, critics praised the film’s unique vision and dark humor while noting its accessibility compared to Lanthimos’ earlier Greek-language films. Cinematographer Thimios Bakatakis creates a visual style that emphasizes the sterility and conformity of the hotel contrasted with the dangerous freedom of the forest. Supporting performances from John C. Reilly, Léa Seydoux, and Olivia Colman add to the film’s strange, compelling world. “The Lobster” established Lanthimos as a major voice in international cinema and paved the way for his subsequent English-language successes, offering a surreal yet emotionally resonant examination of love, loneliness, and the social pressures surrounding relationships.The poster is printed on thick glossy paper of A3 size (297Г—420 mm).
