Biography

Yorgos Lanthimos is one of world cinema's most audacious and original voices, whose films operate in a uniquely unsettling register that defies genre and upends social conventions. The Lobster, The Favourite, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness form a body of work that is simultaneously absurdist and deeply philosophical. His Academy Award for Best Director for Poor Things and Emma Stone's Best Actress win for the same film confirmed Lanthimos as one of the defining filmmakers of his era.
