From the critical and commercial fanfare his films generate, it is
largely understood that Yorgos Lanthimos is one of the more
interesting filmmakers to have emerged out of the new century. A
markedly transnational filmmaker, between Dogtooth and The
Favourite Lanthimos has managed to traverse the gap between the
art-house and mainstream while not once sacrificing his unique
style and worldview. His films, while often difficult, showcase his
talents as a filmmaker, collaborator, and commentator on the human
condition. Accompanied by a trademark acerbic wit, Lanthimos's
films take aim at humanity's more contemptible and absurd designs
as he explores a thematic preoccupation with, among other things,
power, trauma, isolation, sex, and violence. This edited collection
covers everything from an early career that was marked by
experimentation with a range of different media to international
festival hits including Dogtooth, The Lobster, The Killing of a
Sacred Deer, and the Academy Award-winning "historical" epic The
Favourite, Lanthimos's most successful feature to date. All his
work demonstrates a fascinating contravention of aesthetic,
thematic, and generic boundaries that forms the basis of some of
the analyses to be found here. Featuring a roster of talented
scholars, both new and established, The Cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos:
Films, Form, Philosophy provides a timely compendium of critical
approaches to one of the most distinct voices in contemporary film.
