The Lobster
An unconventional love story...
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos
Produced by Scarlet Films, Haut et Court
A darkly absurdist fable about forced conformity and romantic desperation, told with deadpan irreverence and surreal logic.
In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into animals and sent off into The Woods.
