The decay of power

Rating: 10/10 (31 January 2019)

Lanthimos film surprises on several levels: it provides a brilliant parable about degeneration and abuse of power in social, political and sexual terms, a study of decadence in many dependencies, spiced up with many satirical moments. Visually he delivers overwhelming artwork based on fantastic camera work and opulent set design.
And third, it's a blast to watch the splendid trio of actresses at work. Coleman, Weisz and Stone are absolutely outstanding.
You leave the cinema with the idea that nowadays we're actually not far from the world we've just seen on the screen. A masterpiece!
