Biography

“What I want is to allow people to be engaged actively in watching the film. I like to construct films in a way that makes you feel a bit uncomfortable, be able to enjoy them, be intrigued, start to think about the meaning of things - and hopefully by the end of it, you'll have some strong desire to keep thinking about them.” Yorgos Lanthimos is best known for his alienating films. With a disturbing and sometimes even brutal style, he seeks the intrigue of the spectator by weirding them out. A distinctive edgy atmosphere drowns every entry of his filmography. But what states him as a true auteur is his ability to make the most unpleasant images so captivating at the same time, letting the audience reflect upon the darkest corners of their selves.
