A short film made for "Venezia 70 - Future Reloaded."
Heard joke once:
Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels burdened by the bourgeoisie's capacity for violence and need for control.
Doctor says, "Treatment is simple. The comedic director Yorgos Lanthimos made a new film. Go see it. That should give you comfort."
Man bursts into tears. Says,
"But doctor...I am Yorgos Lanthimos."
"Live fast die young"
In just 90 seconds Lanthimos teleports us into a world where differences are still straightened out by an old fashioned duel, long gone are the days of talking things through in Yorgos' world of Necktie it's straight down to the point. The short is able to deliver a whole host of emotions, most prevenently an overwhelming sense of entitlement, the girls schoolyard disagreements are so important in the grand scheme of the world that it is worth taking another persons life to resolve it.
"I have more memories than if I was a thousand years old" in one line Lanthimos delivers an incredible gut punch that leaves you scrambling to find out the answers that lie before the confrontation.
For such a drastic and beautiful directorial style to come across so poignantly in just 90 seconds is an incredible feat for any director, be it an amateur or a master.
Un minuto de cinismo.
Un minuto de tensión.
Un minuto de elegancia.
Un minuto de Lanthimos.
this is like the people who get a perfect score on a 12-page research paper they wrote the night before it was due
This Yorgos Lanthimos short reminded me of Norm Macdonald's Dirty Work in both its tone and execution. And that's a compliment!
no idea what just happened... looks like another successful Lanthimos movie to me!

Youtube. A wonderful distillation of Lanthimos’s whole vibe - normal people placed in a world whose rules we do not understand but they play it completely straight.
