If you loved Mary Shelley, try The Lobster
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Theysit in Drama / Romance territory. If that's the register that drew you to Mary Shelley, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What The Lobster is
A grand hotel, a ticking clock, the sound of a solitary piano. Couples practice their poses, a man searches for a match, the threat of transformation looms. Lanthimos pitches a world where love is a matter of species survival.
