Three by Yorgos Lanthimos
The unofficial leader of the so-called “Greek Weird Wave,” Yorgos Lanthimos helped put the country’s cinema on the international map with these darkly funny, startlingly surreal explorations of human relationships at their most extreme and unsettling. Establishing his singular vision with the uncompromisingly enigmatic Kinetta , Lanthimos gained international notoriety (and a surprising Academy Award nomination) for his disturbingly bizarro family portrait Dogtooth , which he followed with the equally outré Alps . Deploying stylized absurdity to reveal cutting truths about the human condition, these singular provocations represent some of the most audacious and thrillingly original cinema of the twenty-first century.
