This is an incredible, and original film....peel away the first layer if you originally disliked....and watch it again in freshness of a new spirit...and maybe everything will fall into place - hopefully you'll find a deeper and satisfactory answer to this dark tale - a story that you will touch and puzzle you with an understanding of weirdness of this strange film...
I disliked the film initially, and empathize with reviewers who feel the same..... I was not quite ready or in the mood to relish an extraordinary film....and so I watched it the next day....and sure enough, I have found wisdom and maturity in a venture of an answer..... I am not trying to be funny here, but I really do like the nature of this film on second viewing?
'The Lobster' is a film of very dark humour; the characters really do gel together in delicious contrast of entertainment of cinematic drama: It is certainly not a comedy though. In my opinion, the film profoundly offers an alternative vision of how -the futile seeds of shallow indifference -could develop into warfare of misconceived ideas.... An idea that will stranglehold the very thought of love: A love that really should have one meaning only; and that is a love to share in desire of purity. The film ingeniously questions 'love' in manipulation against the horrible thoughts of loneliness -it is thought provoking?
I believe now that the film is a classic - it reminds me of another film; namely, 'Life is a Bed of Roses,' and I feel this is a film of very high quality... I have looked forward to view future films from the director's chair of 'Yorgos Lanthimos,' but I have struggled to understand and like them? Extraordinary!
