I vaguely knew what to expect from Yorgos Lanthimos, but nothing prepared me for such treat. This is absolute eye-and-mind feast with bizarre steampunk/art nouveau setting, which reminds me of the best creations of Peter Greenaway. Best movie in last few years, don’t miss it.
I am honestly shocked by the fact, how very few people actually DO get the plot of Monstrous. This is not a horror, it’s a clever disguise for psychological drama and grief study. Actng and scenography are top notch, pay attention to little hints.
That was a really good piece of arthouse cinema. Do not expect typical plot+action schema. Pictures are stellar in this one.
If you liked „The Witch”, or „Hagazusa” you’ll love The Lamb. This is perfectly acted dark folk tale with atmospheric horror elements.
As a fan of the original, the latest epsiode did not wirk for me at all. Half of the movie I had an impression it’s a copy of „Immaculate”, which IMO stands as a better movie.
I fell robbed of 150 minutes or my life. What a pointless effort that flick was.
