VUFF: The Lobster

Kreikkalainen Lanthimos nappasi Dogtooth -läpimurtoelokuvallaan Oscar-ehdokkuuden. Lanthimoksen THE LOBSTER sai Cannesin elokuvajuhlien Jury Grand Prix'n. RAKKAUTTA & ANARKIAA: "Colin Farrell on elämänhaluton David, eronnut ja pölyinen täysturta. Hän on vaaraksi yhteiskunnalle, sinkku kun on. Kreikkalaisnero Yorgos Lanthimoksen ensimmäisessä englanninkielisessä elokuvassa sellaiset pakotetaan hotellin, jossa saa 45 päivää aikaa löytää puolison. Epäonnistujat `tuomitaan´elämään valitseminaan eläiminä. Farrell loistaa deadpan-Davidina, joka metsästää vastakappalettaan ja hoitaa koiraansa, entistä veljeään. Alavireisen kaunis ja rohkea The Lobster voitti Cannesin Prix du Juryn. Tämä vino tarina rakkaudesta kuuluu niiihin todella harvinaisiin Tapauksiin, joita katsoessa miettii, miksei sellaista ole tehty koskaan ennen. Kuten upeassa Dogtoothissa (2010), Lanthimos tutkii rajoitteita ja estoja: ulkoisia ja sisäisiä muurejamme. Neuroottisen tarkka satiiri parisuhdepakkomielteisestä yhteiskunnasta kääntyy laajemmaksi ihmiselämän allegoriaksi." - Henna Raatikainen 

Yorgos Lanthimos' first English-language feature is a wickedly funny, unexpectedly moving satire of couple-fixated society. Longevity and lifelong fertility are among the reasons why a human may wish to become the eponymous creature, explains Colin Farrell’s protagonist at the outset of “The Lobster.” The tasty crustacean’s rich associations with the Surrealist movement appear to have slipped his mind, but not that of Greek writer-director Yorgos Lanthimos, whose supremely singular fifth feature — his first in English — takes his ongoing fascination with artificially constructed community to its dizziest, most Bunuelian extreme to date. A wickedly funny protest against societal preference for nuclear coupledom that escalates, by its own sly logic, into a love story of profound tenderness and originality, this ingenious lo-fi fantasy will delight those who already thrilled to Lanthimos’ vision in “Alps” and the Oscar-nominated “Dogtooth,” while a starry international cast should draw as-yet-unconverted arthouse auds into his wondrously warped world. As usual, Lanthimos eschews an original score in favor of existing classical and pop compositions, which aggressively punctuate an otherwise quietly thrumming soundscape with brute impact. Beethoven, Shostakovich and Stravinsky all put in prominent appearances, but the most evocative selection here may well be Nick Cave and Kylie Minogue’s morbid country-Gothic ballad “Where the Wild Roses Grow,” with its plaintive plea for unrestrained love: “Do you know where the wild roses grow, so sweet and scarlet and free?” Perversely romantic almost in spite of itself, “The Lobster” doesn’t offer the answer, but it suggests we keep looking. - Guy Lodge/ Variety
