Why are these films so creepy and weird? What makes Yorgos Lanthimos films artificial, and what's the point of creating such 'synthetically' tragic tale? Let's look at his 2017 film, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, to see what's up with his characters, dialogue, setting, camera work, and more.

That is exactly what his films effectively do. Create an uncanny vibe. People aren't people, they are cutouts. As we are in this world. So, he displays that and the surrounding apathy. He also references Necrophilia in this film with Steven's silent fetish with "being turned on by unconscious bodies." That is more or less a lesser form of Necrophilia.

The Killing of the Sacred Deer, in my opinion, it is one of his works that exudes the most Greek tragedy. It is not something related to his nationality but more about the lore involved usually in these works. For example, you can see how Steven’s hubris put the plot in motion and how that lead to an unavoidable fate executed by an invisible force. Since they cannot escape from the curse, even if they try to do it, they cannot and that’s the tragedy. The fact that Kim sings in a choir is a nice nod too. In these works the chorus were used to comment what was happening collectively. I loved my ancient literature classes at college so this film was a little treat for me. Yorgos did his homework and the symbolism feels authentic and horrific as it should

The title The Killing of a Sacred Deer is actually a reference to Greek tragedy, specifically the story of Iphigenia, who the gods demanded to be killed by her father Agamemnon to let the Greeks set sail for the Trojan war. In some versions, Agamemnon kills her, but in others, Iphigenia is saved by Artemis and her place is taken by the goddess’ sacred animal, the deer.

one thing i've thought about lanthimos's high angle - it makes the whole scene feel more like a play. like, in greek theatre for example, where the audience would be seated a bit higher, looking down at the scene. It reminds me a bit of a dollhouse as well, where you see actors play in rooms, go to the other one. You are not "in" the movie, but a spectator. Might be a stretch, obviously, but I thought it would be pretty clever if intended.

Oh very cool question. Sometimes yes, but most of the times no. That's the whole point of analyzing or especially when ritiquing a film- to not make it about what the director truly intended. So with this video too- it's just offering an alternative / different perspective on what the film may represent, and definitely not about whether the director actually meant to do that too or not. After all, if we see it, it still exists and is one possible answer. Happy you enjoyed it. Cheers. ;)

I think a skilled director will always on some level be aware of the kind of emotional impression that certain angles and other techniques have on the general viewer, especially when used with such consistency as it is in this movie. Maybe Yorgos would not have used the same correlations as Spikima between camera technique and theme (such as the connection between zoom-in and divinity) but I'm sure that that connection still says SOMETHING about his intentions by using these techniques as consistently as he does in this one. It's just that there is always a leap between the emotional effect of a certain technique, and the intellectual analysis used to try to understand and contextualize these emotions in a way that connects to the film's themes and ideas, and this leap is the space, I think, where a lot of film analysis takes place.

One thing I did not see mentioned is the use of sound. The film opened with this beautiful requiem, a song of death and mourning, but it's harmonious and pleasant as it introduces the protagonist. However almost ever sound that you hear after this point, layered under and around the dialogue, is going to be ugly. String dissonances, weird booming that becomes overwhelmingly loud, a strange helicopter-like noise that covers over the diagnosis of the son, and frequencies and vibrations that become ghostly screeches hidden beneath the dialogue. At the end of the film it returns to the requiem, but there is no way the audience's mind can return to that illusion of beauty and harmony after the conclusion.

The first time I watched this film, I was in the theater and I could not stop squirming, I was in the thrall of absolute panic and terror. Re- watching, it still had it's power, but knowing what was to come, I was struck by actually how pitch black humorous it could be.... The father even going to the school to try to get an inkling of which child was 'best behaved', his literal and physical spinning around at the violent climax, like all humans in the hands of the fates that make no sense, the Greek tragedies. Great cinematic analysis btw

Hey Spiki, I'm late to the game again, but this was exquisite work! I was really moved by Kidman's eye remaining in the frame, circled by your graphics. Very clever and ominous. I love Lanthimos' movies because they are very funny in an absurdist way than can only fully function coupled with existential dread. He's Haneke's good twin in my opinion. This one is about a false idol being punished by fate, and therefore as Greek as Greek can be. I can't wait for his next heady comedy! All the best 😘

I first saw the lobster at a film festival in high school. It was both very good and supremely difficult to watch. I felt physically ill during the film, and nauseous even thinking about it afterwards. Honestly made me sympathize with movie goers in the 30's who had to be carried out of dracula because they fainted. And that's so cool! I never even thought about how the different camera angles could be used to prompt that kind of unease from me. Awesome video, I loved the deep explanations into how everything works together.

hey, have you ever thought of covering pasolini in one of your videos? i watched your irreversible video and 120 days of sodom popped into my mind. btw great vid as always, man. i love the fact you focus on specific elements of one movie instead of being too generic like some other people are, i feel like this way of talking about movies resonates better with me.

I made my roommate watch this years ago, then my bf just recently. And they both said the same thing to me, almost verbatim. “Where the hell do you keep finding these weird movies?” 😂 I took it as a compliment. Recently watched saltburn and got a similar feeling to this movie and not just bc of Barry what’s his name.

I do think the style changes between the film written by Filippou and the ones written by McNamara (favourite and poor things) it seems Filippou is the darker side and McNamara is the more abstract/lighter side of Yorgos' styles. Will be interesting to see how this progresses

I like the uneasiness of his films especially Killing of a Sacred Deer I find the discomfort captivating and cannot look away from it

이 영상 자체가 또 하나의 영화같네요! 킬링디어 얼마전에 정말 영화에 압도 되면서 본 기억이 있는데 이렇게 새로운 시각으로 생각할 수 있게 되어 너무 좋습니다. 영상 잘 봤습니다 감사합니다.

Zooming out you suddenly become aware that all of this is happening on a TV screen - an epic space opera playing out for someone’s entertainment. But the actors don’t know they’re actors. To them, this galactic orgy is as real as real gets.

Lanthimos movies are really amazing. They make you think- they always have some characteristics of human personality traits, defects and qualities. He speaks about society and how it works. I only watch his movies, now. They are unforgettable...but definitely not "make you feel good" movies.

It'd be interesting to see similar analysis about Villeneuve's movies. His spaces are pretty sterile as well.

I went through the entire criterion collection of my college library (small place) but knew nothing about Dogtooth upon first viewing. I was so confused when the person I watched it with hated it because it brought up feelings for me that no other film ever had. Like, not uncomfortable but more like the feeling when you’re a kid and learn about something grotesque but you’re really drawn to it regardless. Then later when I viewed the Lobster I walked out of the theater and immediately hated it, it took a while for me to understand it was a similar reaction that friend had to Dogtooth. Say what you will he gets a reaction. Dogtooth is one of my all time favorite films.

I hated the lobster too, first watch. Second watch after seeing some deep dives into its themes I had so much more patience respect and understanding for it. Similar thing happened with the show The Leftovers. Thought it was silly first watch, had great moments but mostly weird. Fast forward a year or so later, Macabre Storytelling did a video on the leftovers and I love his stuff. He explained it so well, halfway thru I went and binged the leftovers again and about a month later finished Macabres video. And now I just watched leftovers for a third time and it’s such a deep and philosophical show, that leaves me pondering my existence for weeks and weeks afterwards. Like True Detective season one or like the game SOMA did. Just sticks with me. These movies did too, lobster and sacred deer. But not the first viewing. Like with fight club some movies just take a few rounds to really get all the messages and depth and themes. Anyways. Just had to share that. ❤

I want my time back from this movie One of the weirdest shows/movies: Lars Von Trier’s The Kingdom (I love and own it). Cabaret is about a musician who’s car breaks down stranding him at a farm. It’s French maybe, don’t know, but it’s bizarre! 😵‍💫
