I'm talking about Yorgos Lanthimos' (un)trilogy: Dogtooth, Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer. Although officially three independent films, the director explores in them different sides of the same moral dilemma, he looks into the thinnest layers of human nature and twists morality. Yorgos Lanthimos' films are about exploring the boundaries and grey areas of social norms. I tried to talk about this and share my thoughts on this glorious trio and especially the film Lobster.
