    With the release of Poor Things, Yorgos Lanthimos is one of the most interesting directors working today, no other filmmaker truly captures the sense of discomfort and unease you get when watching a Lanthimos movie. The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer are two very unpleasant movies. His worlds are utterly compelling yet dystopian at the same time, and they are all presented to us through his distinct visual style, which is at its height in The Favourite. Join me as we explore why his films are so effective, and how they give us a new perspective on our own society.

    what I find most fascinating about it is that, for a period piece taking place in 18th-century England with politics, it also manages to be hilarious - a great dark comedy with witty dialogue.
    The entire cast delivers outstanding performances, but Olivia Colman stands out. Her dedication to this role is incredible; she manages to convey a range of emotions, from sadness to hatred.
    The cinematography is breathtaking, especially the amazing use of lighting.
    It's a movie that manipulates your emotions, It's a tale of how the greed for power can lead someone to their own ends.
    It's a well-crafted, hilarious yet heartbreaking movie.

      I find Lynch is quite old fashioned movies destined to the intelligencia (if that makes sense) like saying you re a fan of him during a chic dinner, and everyone agrees but no one really knows why.
      I actually enjoy Lanthimos movies a LOT without having to watch it 3 times and read multiple analysis to try understand a glimpse of it
      To me Lanthimos is Dali if he had made movies, while Lynch is like an renaissance writer that you study in class where the teacher invents a lot of things that « he meant in his masterpiece »

    I hope read this, the previous video you made about color in cinema starts with a title that is so so so wrong and trully shows how dangerous a well edited video really is. I know you don’t gaf, but the collaborative art of movie making is nothing like armchair commentators like you think it is, you not only awarded it to the director right on the title but you seem to have never been on the pre production or production of a great movie. Production designers and DPs have been unfairly treated and you obviously have absolutely no idea how they contribute let alone what an editor and colorist also can influence the final product. I’m so tired of UA-camrs being the ones educating the naive with the power of video editing and to be honest I can’t stand when someone new comes and says “but I saw it on UA-cam”. I miss broadcast regulators thanks to you and that’s something I never thought I’d say. Source - I’m a filmmaker, one of the high-end/budget ones. Goodbye.

      Regarding my last video, I’m well aware of the role the production designers and costume designers had in the colours of the film, which is why I included interview clips of them discussing their role in my video. The title gives credit to the director as it makes a catchy title in an attempt to reach a wider audience

    I’d never heard of the director whose name I can’t spell or pronounce until recently due to awards season despite having seen The Lobster 🦞 when it first came out. I was so confused and disturbed by The Lobster I had to leave the room. But I gave it another chance last week when I binge watched almost all of this directors films due to the hoopla of his formidable talent. This UA-cam clip explains only enough to get the attention of film geeks to speak out at one another about worthiness of Mr. Director’s Art. Personally, I think he will ride the next wave of fame but is hardly comparable to Wes Anderson. Mr. Director has a large palette and crafts wholly different storylines with his stock repertoire of Oscar winning actors, cinematographers and crew. Fascinating.
    Killing of a Scared Deer was weird yet compelling after half a bottle of Pepto Bismol. The Favourite was a hilarious romp with the greatest casting and greatest costumes this director has ever done. Poor Things is hopefully going to prove the naysayers wrong as it looks like delirious mind bending eye candy and face it, Emma Stone is always a delight. Mr. Director, Yorgos Lanthimos, is the worlds next Best Director whether u like it or not!
