Film Liquet on The Lobster

Rating: 7/10 (7 November 2018)

Made by the Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos, there is no wonder that "The Lobster" makes you feel completely uncomfortable and uneasy, showing off the director's script writing techniques and unique style. The plot centres around a dystopian future, where single people are placed in a hotel and given 45 days to find a romantic partner or otherwise they will be turned into animals. Starring Colin Farrell as a newly single man trying to find a partner in order to remain human, after failing to do so, he decides to flee and become a loner - who the people in the hotel hunt, which extends their stay in the hotel.
With an absurd fictional storyline, the film delivers an interesting premise, criticizing the ridiculousness of forcing someone to fall in love due to common interests, or forcing someone to get married, being a common practice. Commenting on the social pressure that is put on the adults, along with the notion of putting people into boxing, not allowing bi-s well as not allowing shoes that are between sizes.
I am not a fan of the director's works; however, I try to remain unbiased when judging the work. The content along with the plot of the movie throws a lot of people off because of the ridiculous concepts, however it is in that ridicule that the director exposes the real life flaws of different cultures and social activities, such as critiques of marriage. The film is shot with a lot of thought put into it, the shots are well framed and show off the breath-taking locations of the United Kingdom and the Netherlands. Collin Farrell and Rachel Weisz, along with the other cast members add to the film greatly.
