Lanthimos and Oedipus rex

The new York times

The Lobster includes a blinding scene, but the director said it wasnt an intentional
reference to Oedipus Rex. Not at all, he said. But he added that he and his co-
writer might have subconsciously absorbed such allusions even if we dont really
realize it.

the new York review of books

Lanthimoss films often contain such disturbing moments of

unexpected, startling violence that people who have never
been able to watch Sophocless Oedipus Rex.

RIPITUP

http://ripitup.com.au/screen/review-the-lobster#.VnPlfvmLTIU

The ending is as difficult as the darkest Greek tragedy (perhaps

not the darkest one or as dark as any of the ones where people
murder their children but at least as dark as the third of fourth
darkest ones.Oedipus level dark).
