An interesting take on a dysfunctional society

Rating: Null/10 (17 February 2016)

This film tells the story of a group of people who are taken to a hotel, where they have to find a partner within forty five days. If not, they will be changed to an animal of their choice.
"The Lobster" is very different from any film I watched recently. The tone of the film is strangely eerie without any eerie or scary effects effects. It achieves the strange feeling by strange societal rules and impersonal interpersonal interaction. Though I say strange, if you think hard about the society depicted in the film, it actually echoes a lot of the real world, only more exaggerated, organised and disturbing. It is a very interesting reflection on the strange world we live in, and makes us realise that our world is more dysfunctional than we cognate.
