The Lobster

2015, Yorgos Lanthimos

3.8/5

The Lobster is a 2015 absurdist black comedy drama film directed and co-produced by Yorgos Lanthimos, from a screenplay by Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou. It stars Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Jessica Barden, Olivia Colman, Ashley Jensen, Ariane Labed, Angeliki Papoulia, John C. Reilly, Léa Seydoux, Michael Smiley, and Ben Whishaw. In the film, newly single bachelor David moves into a hotel with other singletons, who are all obliged to find a romantic partner in 45 days, or else be transformed into animals.

The Lobster was announced in October 2013, with confirmation that Jason Clarke would star as the lead. After Clarke left production, Farrell replaced him by February 2014, with Weisz also joining the cast instead of Elizabeth Olsen. The rest of the cast was rounded out by that March as principal photography began, which concluded that May. Filming largely took place in Ireland, including in Dublin and across County Kerry. The film is a co-production by Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece, France, and the Netherlands.
