The Lobster

I've seen this movie probably 3 times now? The first Yorgos film was actually Dogtooth, but I didn't even realize it was a Yorgos film until years later. This is what made me realize what a weird fuckin guy he is, but I really dug it. This movie tightrope walks the line of funny and uncomfortable more than possibly any other I've seen, and everyone is great in their respective parts.

I mentioned the binaries earlier in this topic, and how the rebel group just as easily gives into them, and it's wild the extremes they'll go to. For instance, there's clear suggestion that the maid and the leader of the rebels have some sort of mutual attraction, but the leader, true to her stance on solidarity, sacrifices the maid without a second thought.

Special note #1: Watching this movie again after seeing Blue is the Warmest Color makes the loner leader feel that much more jarring.

Special note #2: The maid dancing in the forest is easily the best scene in the film.

9/10
