    All the weirdness of the film finally condensed into a truly remarkable work. A fresh, rich, and scrutinized comedy full of great scenes and performances, even if you haven't had time to think about the deeper...

    Sodom + Animal Farm + 1984 + Metamorphoses... Black and white is extremely absurd, there are no vague options such as bisexuality and half-size shoes: single guilty mainstream VS love-forbidding rebellion, with strict rules and punishments on both sides , the centrist will either die or be turned into animals. Public power VS individual, family, friendship, and love are all defeated by rules/survival, absolute power is absolutely corrupt, the basis of love in the film is so shallow in common,...

    #Cannes2015# Like the director's previous work "Dog Tooth", it is still working on the framework of a grotesque society and is a dystopian sample independent of society. Unfortunately, except for a little black humor, the effect of pointing to the society is really not shown. The lens language adheres to the style of the previous work, adding slow motion paragraphs, but it is not interesting. The whole is a bit messy and not strong...

    Being single is the original sin, and love is the original sin. ....

    Barely two points. Overhead dystopian settings, plot eating settings, this kind of nonsense is easy to watch, but it is also very current. The rules are too blunt and completely unreasonable, the narration in the first half is noisy and unnecessary, and the slow motion makes the oil painting sense created by a lot of fixed shots too formal and looks stupid. The plot is basically forcing you to fall in love, and you have to love in the abstinence pile, and the reason for love is that there are...

    A good idea does not equal a good movie execution. Too many narrations and side-jumping scenes, and shooting a movie as a stage play is always not...

    Single animals walk in the forest, electronic music audiences are tested, family fun guitars are fake, body signals are rabbits to fall in love... Hunting, stabbing, jumping off the building, digging one's own grave, inhumane marriage urges against inhumane singles, this world is wrong The main reason is that the default relationship can't be built on lie...

    The hotel does not allow single dogs, the city pays attention to matching families, and the extreme couples in the woods (countryside) die together... It's a true portrayal of the world. The narrative and soundtrack are quite retro... Actually, I think a soundtrack with a minimalist impression like "Into the House" should be...

    1. Why did the maid help the male protagonist to escape?
         Not only because the maid and her husband were not in harmony, but also because she was an undercover agent. Moreover, there is not much introduction about how the maid and the leader of the solitary traveler met. But I believe there...

    Dystopia without revolution and extreme thinking about marriage


    First of all , this film really pokes me. I g-pointed dystopia
    and the discussion of marriage and love can be even better? To form a couple, if a single person moves to a hotel within 45 days, if they fail to form a couple, they will be forcibly turned into an animal. The most basic standard of...

The Lobster quotes

  • Short Sighted Woman: [narrating] One day, as he was playing golf, he thought that it is more difficult to pretend that you do have feelings when you don't than to pretend you don't have feelings when you do.

  • Short Sighted Woman: [narrating] Some punishments are worse than other punishments. Having your thumb cut is worse than having your head shaved. And having a hot boiled egg under your armpit is worse than having your leg kicked. The punishment I am afraid of isn't the Red Kiss but another one, that is called the Red Intercourse. I have never seen it happen, but it's not difficult to imagine what it means.
