The Lobster (2015)

Movie
The Lobster
7.1/10on IMDbReleased
Look for Vasilis Marmatakis's white-background poster of Colin Farrell embracing a partner whose body has been removed. His arms still describe a relationship, but blank space occupies its centre. That visual absence makes loneliness and the pressure to be coupled visible at once. It is especially useful for anyone exploring negative space: the missing figure carries as much meaning as the photographed one.

About The Lobster

In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into animals and sent off into The Woods.
