After winning the award for best film in 2009 with his second film "Canino", the Greek director returns to the Cannes Film Festival to fight this time for the precious Palm of Gold from the official section.
In 2009 Giorgos Lanthimos made himself known by winning the Un Certain Regard Prize at the French competition with the provocative and no less brilliant «Canine«After that, the competitions around the world have been attentive to their work.
After Cannes, "Canino" herself went to other competitions such as the Sitges Festival or the Mar del Plata Festival and her next film "Alps»Was presented at the Venice Film Festival where it won the award for best screenplay and later went through the Seville Festival.

The synopsis of «The Lobster" says so: 'The Lobster will be a love story, but not a conventional love story. He will observe and reason how certain people come together to form pairs and how others do not. It is a story about the dire effects of loneliness, the fear of dying alone, living alone, and also the fear of living with someone. The Lobster tries to discover synonyms for love in words like fear, norms, surrender, coincidence, naivety, prosperity and lies. '
The movie stars Colin Farrell, coming soon to the second season of the TV series "True Detective", Rachel Weisz, who we can see in another of the films aspiring to the Palme d'Or «La giovianezza», Ben Whishaw, best known for starring in "Das Parfum - Die Geschichte eines Mörders" and Lea Seydoux, who rose to fame for starring in the Palme d'Or winner "La vie d'Adèle."
