Yorgos Lanthimos
Poor Things is a brilliantly weird odyssey of beauty and bile that goes down like a wonderfully bitter-and-sweet cocktail.
It confounds and reverberates; The Lobster sings a singularly eccentric tune.

The Favourite may be Lanthimos’ most crowd pleasing work yet, but it doesn’t shy from showing the doomed reality of chasing power.
Director Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest is his first truly empathetic character study, aided by three powerhouse performances from Colman, Weisz and Stone.
With an infectious sense of humor and some wonderfully dynamic performances, The Favourite is a shining example of a filmmaker at the prime of his art.

Yorgos Lanthimos, a Greek director and screenwriter, is known for his unusual and obscure films, renowned for their sheer originality.
Director Yorgo Lanthimos first grabbed the world’s attention with Alps and the seismic Dogtooth. Recently, he sprung another biting, absurdist satire into the festival circuit with The Lobster. It takes place in a world in which relationships are mandatory; the characters, all newly single, or newly of age, are detained in a hotel that works, basically, as a deadly speed dating service.
