Favourite, The (2018)
By turns visually ravishing and psychologically perverse, this salacious and morbidly hilarious period drama strangely doesn’t quite amount to anything significant.
Killing of a Sacred Deer, The (2017)
Absurdist cinema taken to the extreme, Greek provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos delivers a harrowing work that is clinical in execution in more ways than one.
Lobster, The (2015)
Bizarre is the word from the latest by Lanthimos, whose uneven English-language debut intrigues and wanes in what is a morbid if deadpan comedy about loneliness and companionship.
Dogtooth (2009)
This Greek film is frustrating yet fascinating to watch, masquerading as a dark satirical drama that cranks up the horrifying factor to a solid ten.
