Stream Yorgos Lanthimos' newest film NIMIC and get 30 days free at mubi.com/thomasflight
In The Lobster, director Yorgos Lanthimos constructs a bizarre and absurd world. In this video, I examine the unique way Lanthimos constructs the strange realities is creates in The Lobster, The Killing of A Sacred Deer, and his new short NIMIC. And how he uses those worlds for social commentary.
Thank you to MUBI for collaborating on this video, by allowing me early access to NIMIC, and giving me free rein to incorporate footage from it into the video!

"is it harder to pretend to have feelings for someone when you don't, or to pretend you don't when you do." One of the lines from The Lobster, perfectly sums this beautiful film up.

Yorgos Lanthimos's characters are unnerving, I feel, not because they have something to hide but rather, on the contrary, because of their absolute transparency. It is the fact that they explicitly share their feelings, plans, and desires, even when it seems unwarranted or better left unstated. I think this is what contributes to the "uncanny" atmosphere of all his films.

I've been a fan of her ever since Mitchell & Webb, but I can't quite get past the fact that no matter what role she's playing, she always just sounds like Olivia Colman. She's kinda like Michael Caine in that regard. So I don't think she was a good choice to play The Queen, because (unlike Claire Foy, who absolutely nailed it) she can't do any voice other than her own. Even when she put on a West Country accent in Hot Fuzz, she still just sounded like Olivia Colman trying to do a funny voice.

but i love that the character actually tried to escape the second system too, and when he did that, i think the last scene shows like the choice he had to face (spoiler), hurt/mutilate himself in order to be loved and fit or not? he already had rejected other systems that where like that, but this time he has doubts and he might do it. i find that pretty interesting. like maybe "L'enfer c'est les autres" and you will always have to repress a part of yourself in order to live in society, or maybe not. or maybe being alone is better. who knows. i like that the ending is open in that sense.

This honestly reminds me a bit of Kafka! We read Metamorphosis the other day in German class, and in that book none of the family question why the protagonist Georg woke up as a bug one morning. Of course, they are scared of it and worry etc, but neither them nor Georg himself even once ask the question of what happened. I’ve only read that one book, but apparently Kafka does that a lot. He seems to have had a lot in similar with this director! :)

The idea of someone literally becoming a cockroach is absurd, and a discussion of the 'how' would make Metamorphosis or The Lobster different stories entirely. Clearly, the absurdity is meant to be accepted by the reader without question, as the characters in these stories do.

I just realized that the feeling that his movies give off is the same feeling that you get when recalling a dream. Even though you may be cast into the most bizarre, nonsensical situation, you almost never question it. It’s taken at face value, and you just move on. And that’s how his characters are.

@ayt.u.7433 4 ай бұрын

I love his films because for me, as an autistic person, it is firstly comforting to see characters who talk unhinged without hurting anybody. Secondly, it shows me a reflection of our world and how it feels to live in a world like ours with so many strange rules, crazy laws and expectations. His movies depict how it feels to live in this world for me. Imagine living in a Yorgos Lanthimos' Movie and being the only one noticing it. It is exhausting to say the least.

So much so i retain knowledge without trying. Even activly ignoring things will not prevent me from retaining them. I really hope someday we figure out our brains. So fasinating and we know so little

@ellaaa812 3 жыл бұрын

This is such a good introduction into his films. What I love about them so much, especially in the killing of a sacred deer, is that all the weirdness already lies in the lines, the characters say them even without any emotion so the absurdity of what they are talking about comes up even clearer and cleaner.

@blueegg4198 4 ай бұрын

Dogtooth is one of the few films that I still think about years after seeing it. You hit the nail on the head in this video: Dogtooth asks us to consider the rules we accept in our own lives. What are things we been taught to believe on such a deep, fundamental level that we might not even think to question them? Even when we think we are defying authority, is our concept of what rebellion is still shaped by unexamined frameworks? *SPOILERS* for the end of Dogtooth: One of the girls decides to run away from home. It's an act of rebellion against her parents, isn't it? But first, she knocks out one of her canine teeth, because she was raised to believe that children become adults when a 'dogtooth' falls out. And she hides in the trunk of her father's car when she could easily run away on foot, because she was raised to believe it was incredibly dangerous to leave the house except in the car. At the end of the film, we don't know if she'll get out of the trunk and truly get away. And even if she does, her understanding of reality has been so fundamentally warped; will she ever be able to unlearn what she's been taught? This is the challenge we face when we try to become aware of the propaganda, the distortions of reality we've been immersed in all our lives.

Great essay. Have just recently re-watched The Lobster, and despite the absurdity of this world to the audience, it's also quite a mundane existence, with muted emotional ranges of the characters, a restricted and somewhat bland colour palate, and a controlled chaos. Despite scenes that as an audience we would find shocking, thrilling, frightening, or outrageous, after getting over the initial awkwardness or humour, I found myself thinking, "yeah, fair enough", "Ah yeah, that's completely normal" along with the characters in this world. As an audience, becoming as accepting of the absurdity that the characters are.

It's a bit like the way Magritte painted really odd things but in a totally flat, inexpressive, rather conventional style. A lot of Buñuel's filmmaking works similarly. The first time I saw The Discrete Charm of the Bourgeoisie, I thought it looked like a cheap sit com or soap.

The Lobster gives me the same unsettling vibe that reality dating shows do. It's very true to the kind of manipulated narrative and environment that TV shows like the Bachelor/Bachelorette, Love is Blind, and 90 Day Fiancé create, but just presented in a much more artistic, intentionally-disturbing way. It's accurate in that the relationships in these shows are obviously fake, fabricated, and overblown with drama, but the people within them can't see that there's no foundation to begin with, nor can anyone else around them, making these couples the gold-standard for people who are gullible, vulnerable, and feel hopeless in their love life. Much like the film, nobody questions the absurdity of the flawed logic and rules that dating shows set and everybody seems in denial of their sheer rediculousness, as though its a 100% effective way to find love.

Poor me for watching this and Oppenheimer. I got more meaning out of Barbie without the Pandora’s box glorification of war or the twisted Frankenstein brain swap. The academy rewards Oscars for that???

I absolutely loved this movie. Loved the part where the couple is given kids as according to the program having kids help couples with martial problems.

I didn't know about this Lanthimos's new movie. I will definitely give a look into. About your video, It's very interesting what you mentioned on the reality of the film being different, without he bothering to tell his audience it's different, it's just slightly left implicit that it's different, but he never goes there and try to offer any deeper explanation of how the film reality works: the social rules, culture, etc, etc… It's as if the film reality, with all it's differences and so on and so forth was like our reality. I mean, most movie directors don't create a new reality from the ground up, directors reuse countless elements from the "real reality": the cities, the traditions, culture, social roles, etc… Lanthimos goes there and makes a movie with this other reality and doesn't straight up tell his audience, and I think this is quite fascinating, and it really makes us think about movie storylines and how - in the end - we simply sorta assume that the movie, any movie actually, is taking place in the same reality as ours... Even it looks like like our reality, maybe it isn't, it's just a guess of ours, an assumption.
