Review of The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017) by Matt G — 10 Nov 2017
Can we take a sec to admire Lanthimos' elegant transition to American filmmaking? Many international auteurs have tried and failed - but he feels right at home with these big name actors. The robotic cadence in dialogue, somewhere between Bresson and Roy Andersson.
The absurdist situations - Colin Farrell at the principal's office, Bob needing a haircut, the spaghetti. I would say this is more akin to the themes in Dogtooth than The Lobster. Not as powerful as either, but hypnotic and beautiful nonetheless.
