I want to start with a confession. I am in love. I am in deep love with cinema. This time I am in love with Yorgos Lanthimos. I want to present this talented Greek filmmaker if you missed his works. Today is a big day because I saw his new film The "Killing of a Sacred Deer”.
Four years ago I find out about Yorgos Lanthimos when I saw his film “Dogtooth” - I was stunned... I love a lot of "creepy" film directors and every time I am wondering - what the hell is happening in their heads? "Dogtooth" and other Lanthimos movies are films that will certainly make you say - "What the fuck." This film is the first Greek film which was nominated for Oscar. It's brutal, freaky, disturbing and shocking cinema!
“Dogtooth”, 2009
Three teenagers live isolated, without leaving their house, because their manipulator's parents say they can only leave when their dogtooth falls out. Creepy art movie that holds a cracked mirror to our most cherished beliefs about family.
"The Lobster", 2015
After watching this movie I was like "out of this world". In a dystopian society, single people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice. That kind of caliber movies you can wait for years... or ages.
“The Killing of a Sacred Deer”, 2017
Horror drama - “The Killing of a Sacred Deer” won the best screenplay award at the Cannes Film Festival! Black comedy, a family drama and a peculiar evocation of the Iphigenia myth. Music killed me. OMG! Genial horror music! Yorgos Lanthimos has already proved himself to be a filmmaker of wild originality and imagination.
Cinema.
My therapy.
My kind of religion.
My cross.
