New Trailer For The Lobster Simmers Online

Where else are you likely to see a frumpy Colin Farrell form an unlikely and secret alliance with Rachel Weisz in a cagoule?

‘The Lobster’ is a 2015 science-fiction romantic thriller film which is directed by Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Colin Farell’s character chooses the lobster, because they mate for life.

In the preview for the freaky love story set in the near future, Farrell’s David is shown being taken to a hotel where he informs the woman checking him in that he’s on his own for the first time after his 12-year marriage ended and is told of the rule that if he fails to find a partner during his month and a half stay he’ll be turned into an animal. A desperate Man escapes from The Hotel to The Woods where The Loners live and falls in love, although it is against their rules.

His next film, “Alps“, was another Venice success, and “The Lobster” received worldwide attention upon its Cannes debut in May, taking home the Jury Prize, a Palme d’Or nomination, and the Queer Palm for its treatment of societal norms.

“The Lobster” is about to head to TIFF, the NYFF and the LFF before opening in United Kingdom cinemas on October 16th – there’s no firm word on a US release date yet.
