Michael says: “I sure hope you got to see this when it had its very successful run earlier this year in the theaters. Greek director Yorgos Lathimos (DOGTOOTH; ALPS) brings us his first English-language film, a hilarious, dark, and pointed parable about relationships. Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz star as two people, struggling to find love and build a relationship of some sort in a world where single people must live in a hotel and find their partner within a certain amount of time or be transformed into an animal of their choice. Sounds surreal? It sure is, but so good you must see it. Farrell is on my list for Best Actor, and director, screenplay, and cast are likely nominations as well.”
