Listen Later

Out of all the dystopian sci-fi future's we've seen in film, did you ever think you'd see one where people are turned into an animal if they can't find a significant other within 45 days? The Lobster (starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz) creates a world that writer’s Yorgos Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou could only envision. David (played by Colin Farrell) is a lonesome man whose wife just left him, he soon finds himself at a hotel where he must court a lover or turn into the animal he chose: a lobster. With a supporting cast of Lea Sydoux, John C.
