The Lobster (2015), Yorgos Lanthimos ★★★★★
.
After watching three of Yorgos Lanthimos' films (Dogtooth (2009), Alps (2011), and The Lobster), I knew something about the world that I was stepping into. Like a Wes Anderson film. Or Roy Andersson. Since his success, he's been able to attract an all star cast; Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Lea Seydoux (Mysteries of Lisbon, Blue Is the Warmest Colour, The Grand Budapest Hotel, and was also in Mission: Impossible – Ghost Protocol and Spectre). And Ariane Labed returns (starred in Alps). A tough film so find. I found it streaming on Amazon.co.uk, but you need a UK credit card, but luckily they have the PAL dvd for sale. Since it first showed in the U.S. in 2016, it takes over the #1 spot.
I did see the trailer yesterday (4-24-2016) before Elvis & Nixon, so a (limited?) U.S. release may be coming.
