Cold color palettes. Distinctive use of violence. Deadpan, dark humor. Eerie, unconventional narratives. All these are defining characteristics of Yorgos Lanthimos' unique cinematic works that establish the innovative "Greek Weird Wave" director as one of the best contemporary filmmakers working today.
As expected, Lanthimos' bizarre feature film directorial debut is slow-paced. This time, though, too dragging for its own good. Kinetta is definitely the weakest of the bunch so far; although it features elements of other beloved Lanthimos films, it ultimately does not work. However, considering that everyone has to start somewhere, Kinetta is still an admirable effort from the Greek filmmaker, as it introduces audiences to his distinctive vision and features great performances.
4 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer' Starring: Barry Keoghan, Colin Farrell, Nicole Kidman Starring Saltburn's star Barry Keoghan opposite Colin Farrel in their first partnership , The Killing of a Sacred Deer marks one of the promising star's most memorable roles. It focuses on Dr. Steven Murphy, a cardiovascular surgeon, and his family's lives, whose peace is interrupted when a fatherless teen insinuates himself into their lives in an increasingly unsettling manner.
In addition to its top-notch deadpan humor, Lanthimos' unconventional and highly original first English-language film, The Lobster, benefits from a thought-provoking storyline about the societal pressure of dating and conformation to romantic norms. It is a compelling, utterly absurd study of relationships and harmful societal expectations turned into something singular, peculiar, and certainly entertaining.
