Aggeliki Papoulia at 27:21 gave the most thoughtful and clear answer in the whole interview, her acting is amazing and what she says puts a little insight into why is that.
Here is how I see Lanthimos' films (I've watched Dogtooth and the Alps). He takes humans and does some interesting social experiments with them in his movies and tries explore what a human would do in these surrealistic situations and in doing so tries to uncover interesting things about human nature. They don't have to be very universal or something that happens to most people. They don't intend to be an allegory for the real human society, they just try to explore human nature. Maybe some of us have found ourselves in similar situations with these characters (under different contexts) but this is not the primary purpose. There is hardly any purpose and this is why they are open to interpretation. But there doesn't have to be a purpose, it's art it's not science or philosophy. You just do things and see where it takes. I also love how even though the films are surrealistic they aren't confusing but on the contrary are pretty straightforward. Everything is there for you to take in and make something out of it. They are not the kinds of movies that you need to watch three times to get everything. They are the kind of movies that you watch three times and get everything each time but make different things out of it every time.
When I saw this movie in 2016, I knew instantly that Yorgos Lanthimos would soon be mainstream. Now fresh off an Oscar Nomination, I am so glad that so many more people will watch this master’s films.
At around 20:00 some actors were saying “I have no clue what the film is about”, I was thinking, it would be hilarious if the director also said: “Yeah, me too, I have no clue what it's about”
In my estimation, the film portrays an organized, clean, developed, yet extremely rigid society on moral and behavioral standards. The existence of an autocratic state isn't clearly perceived. The oppressive system is diluted, in the film, in the figure of manipulative bureaucrats, who act inside a hotel as omnipotent deities. Such leaders are always willing to reward and applaud the most obedient and severely punish anyone who violates the imposed rules. In order to control the destinies of society and to ensure the perpetuation of the dominant power, personal relationships are cold, psychologically and physically violent, and therefore disturbing and frightening.
The best question mentioned lobsters mate for life. How incredible and beautiful. Earlier it was stated as though a joke that the cast and crew ate lobsters and someone threw live lobsters in a boiling pot of water. In the film The Shape of Water the sea creature is a god; this film is barbaric to animals on and off screen. There will be a time when the speciesism of it will make us shudder. I hope the intelligent actors and actresses and crew will adopt kindness and compassion towards the helpless creatures. Children like Greta Thunberg get it: "I am vegan for ethical and climate and environmental reasons."
What an annoying pretentious film this was. I recalled that a few minutes after watching the film I forgot I had watched the film. He did a better job with “Killing of a Sacred Deer” but The Lobster is awful. I’m watching this to hear the director explain himself if he can.
Léa seem always in touch with her emotions.
I love how she tells and describes how things make her feel.

Ένας πραγματικός λόγος να νιώθω περήφανος! Πραγματικά εύχομαι και ελπίζω να σαρώσει τα βραβεία, και στη συνέχεια στις αίθουσες.

Can't wait to see "Lobster"!! Honestly! ++ Rachel Weisz: OMG What a beauty!! I literally lost my breath!
I liked Colin's answers
At around 20:00 some actors were saying “I have no clue what the film is about”, I was thinking, it would be hilarious if the director also said: “Yeah, me too, I have no clue what it's about”
Which is impossible
it's only now that I knew that the director is married to the actress who played the maid :O
Bravo Yorgo and good luck! I am so glad that you are ''going for it'' !
Η "Πίσω Πόρτα" είναι η αγαπημένη μου ελληνική ταινία...
Rachel weisz ❤❤❤❤❤
Love Lea!
Aggeliki is the best!!

I never thought Colin was handsome in the movie but damn he's a handsome dude here. How the heck
Nobody's perfect!

(LMFAO)
Oh Léa :'3 So pretty :3
I think that this year's Palme D'Or winner choise will be between The Lobster and The Assassin
Amazing!

Léa Seydoux :3 It's so beautiful, and strange to see her with Adele , still spoken ? :/
Lobster should be the winner at Cannes
Beautiful women

Does Weisz have dyslexia or something? Or is the "m" in Lanthimos silent? 11:44
