Hot damn this movie was Made For /tv/™ but I haven't seen a single thread about it.

It was a really good movie right up until they left the hotel.
Hell, I'd give it up until they find the diary. Point being the more they focused on Colin Farrell's relationship with Rachel Weisz the worse the movie got.
That ending sucked dick.

Why would he turn into a lobster except for some pseudo-intellectual so random hipster bullshit?
>>70452621
You stay at a hotel for 45 days and if you don't find a mate you get turned into an animal
He chose a lobster
You're a faggot.

great movie really funny in places
you haven't seen any threads because it's been available to watch for like 8 months
>>70452401
Nigga there were many threads about it when it came out
You're just late to the party

I think you have a point there sir. Still movie of the year for me. Lots of waifu material, in particular this chick.

Prime waifus imo were nosebleed girl and the one with nice hair
>just have everyone speak like they are autistic, then it's art lmao
I feel like I would have enjoyed this story more as a book than as a movie. The girl's narration didn't feel very necessary.
Is it worth going to see or can I just wait? Only theater playing it is an hour away
>>70454031
It's one of the best movies so far this year imo. If you're on this goddamn board you will probably relate to it in a big way.
>>70454031
it's been available on public trackers for months
if you don't feel like driving an hour, just torrent it
that said it's probably worth seeing in theater

That depends, it's incredibly understated and blunt (Almost borderline autistic in a genuine sense.) and has a lot of borrowed tropes from the director's previous work, albeit in a slightly more digestible way. If you don't mind a slightly more accessible pretentious european art house flick, then it's worth a watch. You can just pretend it guest stars Dr. Steve Brule and not miss a beat if you're on the fence.
Everyone saw it months ago when the DVDRIP was out
>>70454031
It's worth seeing it in a theatre, especially if you liked Dogtooth. Movie is hilarious
Someone post that webm of the maid sitting on the guys lap or whatever
>>70452401
Pretty great film. I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and experienced a sense of wonder at how truly inaccessible it is to normies, yet how perfectly its sense of black humor clicked with me.
>>70453498
That was comedy, anon. It's humorous to see people speaking in such a monotone matter of fact way, like a funhouse mirror of real life social interaction. If you think that was the movie "trying to be art" you are probably au_____c

this
having people talk weird is the easiest and most boring/annoying to hear way of making something "funny" or absurd
their actions are absurd enough, have them talk like real fucking people
>>70454823
>truly inaccessible it is to normies
It's no Marvel film obviously, but it's not that inaccessible compared to most artfilms.
>>70452658
>You stay at a hotel for 45 days and if you don't find a mate you get turned into an animal
Yes, but why?
>>70455148
The fact that you have to ask means you're not ready for this type of film.
>>70455148
Why does darth vader fly around shooting lasers? Why does anything happen ever in fiction? It's pretend, it doesn't have to make sense you ass pie

So far The Witch is best movie of 2015 for me.
I liked The Lobster. It just seems like any scene could be removed and the movie would lose very little or nothing, as if the final product isn't all that compelling. I actually saw dogtooth (also by lanthimos) and enjoyed that more than I did the lobster.
>>70454952
I think the flat voices and personalities serve a pretty clear purpose. It's all to suggest we're extremely fake when we're courting the opposite sex. You may be right that the non-traditional speech route is an easy one, but I don't think that, assuming you're correct, hurts the movie.
>>70452401
why did the lady want to blind herself in the end?
>>70455480
I'll-informed bait aside, this was actually one of my favorite parts of the movie.
Was he [considering] doing that to himself because society necessitated it (in other words, they'd be outed and separated of they weren't both blind), because he really was brainwashed into thinking his love for her would only exist if they shared the same affliction, or was it some combination of those two things?

Nice one. I don't think my iq is great enough to come up with that kind of stuff.

It's not an art film. Charlie Kaufman has been making relatively mainstream movies like this for almost 20 years. What the fuck does art film even mean anyway? Christ you're an idiot.
>>70455605
Was wondering the same myself, but I think it was a combination of the two.
>>70458745
>>70455605
I thought she was just having lasik to correct her vision but the loner leader tricked her and blinded her instead. She wanted to be blinded? Seemed like she was hesitant.
>>70455605
I think he needed something in common with her to connect with her. In their society people are forced together, so I guess it's easier if they have something to share. Same with the nosebleed thing.
>>70457418
>the word you are looking for is 'successful'
Remind me, which part of Kaufman movies can be sold to a mainstream audience?
>>70458796
This movie made me discover Rachel Weisz to be a prime waifu. I loved the second part more than I did the first.

Yes you can. See some recent examples:

>The Artist
>The Hurt Locker
All of them won oscars, all of them box-office failures.
>>70459227
>>70459014
Even Yorgos's Dogtooth was an oscar nominated film. And Dogtooth is NOT a mainstream movie.

They talk like autistic fucks because at that point only autistic fucks would still be single and have to go to a matchmaking rehab centre
