In a desolate Greek resort town, a chambermaid, a man obsessed with BMW cars, and a photo-store clerk stage re-enactments of a local serial killer’s murders. What seems to be an investigative experiment turns out to be more of an exploration into the depths of their own psychosexual obsessions.
If you enjoyed The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, you might want to know where it all started (that’s right, Dogtooth wasn’t the beginning). Greek maverick Yorgos Lanthimos’ debut is an elliptical and weirdly captivating take on alienation that was also produced by Athina Rachel Tsangari.
