Not all love stories are the same

Rating: 9/10 (30 December 2016)

Admittedly I could hardly wait for the new collaboration between the director Yorgos Lanthimos and his usual collaborator the screenwriter Efthimis Filippou (who also wrote Chevalier which won the top prize in LFF2015) in their first English speaking feature. And it was yet again a thoroughly stimulating absurd surrealistic dark comedy, unique to its core. Wrapped up with a violently emotive score unfolds a story about finding love against the clock in a concentration camp for loners or turned into a animal of choice. Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz are great leads and Olivia Colman is an excellent supporting act in a film you won't quickly forget.
