Greek Film God

You'd be hard-pressed to find a filmmaker as ambitious as Yorgos Lanthimos.

The Greek director's last film The Lobster (2015) was strangely offbeat with the plot revolving around people who are given 45 days to hook up with a romantic partner or risk being transformed into a crustacean.

His latest offering is the equally surreal The Killing of a Sacred Deer, which reunites him with The Lobster's leading man Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman. Putting a modern-day spin on Euripides' Greek mythology Iphigenia in Aulis, the film is about a heart surgeon who finds his domestic bliss shattered after he befriends a fatherless teenage boy.
