It's like Colin absorbed Yorgos' eyebrows
I love how the characters are so synthetic. They seem like robots acting out what society has programmed them to do.
Then why just use robots?
Texas Chainsaw Jesus he did a really good job with making me absolutely despise him.
i like how the director intentionally did it.
For me, that is the weak part of the movie, if movie was acted like in " The Favorite" i think that "Scared deer" would be masterpiece
@@user-hm3vr9ml2e Sacred Deer is a masterpiece
fucking hypnotic film. brilliant. terrifying. amazing. the dialogue is subtle yet incredible. go see this!!!!!
The acting in the film is what is subtle which is the exact opposite of the dialogue.
You are absolutely gorgeous and obviously have a great taste in film. May I ask what city you live in?
ko serius la. filem ni level sampah kot. brilliant apekebendenya. sedih nye ko, tak pernah tengok good horror movie ke? tolong la jgn naive sgt
Yorgos became my new favourite director. His movies are difficult for me and I cannot wholeheartedly enjoy them, but he has a very unique style that's rare to see, and I also like the absurd elements he puts in there
DEKALOG! Nice taste my man
nampak sgt ko nak cakap yg si yorgos tu tak reti buat filem
I agree!
I got addicted to his movies
The music frightened me much more than the movie itself, although the cinematography was brilliant too.
I personally believe that the score of a movie plays a pivotal role in the portrayal of its circumstances
The movie would've been far less unsettling if not for the score
couldnt agree more. i believe the rating was overrated. & the music was unnecessary, as if the director lack of ideas how to scare audience without put the jumpscare. sampah
geez the soundtrack was unnerving!!!!!
Unbelievable film
The eyebrow to beard ratio on Yorgos is pretty amazing. And the exact opposite of Colin in this clip.
This is an INCREDIBLE film.
This is what true Karma would look like, staring you in the face--taking over your life. The selfishness....the egotism...the stoicness...the evil....I mean, this film borders on some serious devious shit.
I love when Hollywood actors/actresses working for a real movie so i can watch and examine their skills
dan yg sedihnya cerita ni sampah. kesian nicole kidman kena carry filem jenis mcm ni. tp tak apa la kot sbb dia dibayar.
This is hands down one of the best cinematic experiences i ever had
I felt the same way ! never seen anything like this before
You enjoyed rolling in Skata ?
Watch Lobster by the same director. Much better.
I fucking WISH I could have seen this in the theaters. Did you see a lot of parallels between The Shining and The Exorcist? The Shining because of the camera angels and somewhat the acting. The Exorcist because of all the medical testing and stress on the parents
@@genseek00 Nah, this one's better, The Lobster is great but anyone can make those observations about romance these days, stories about family are much more interesting
for those curious about what Yorgos is referring to when he says "Win more and fail less, like Beckett almost said," he's talking about a Samuel Beckett poem that includes the lines "Ever Tried. Ever Failed. No Matter. / Try Again. Fail Again. Fail Better."
4:51 I love Yorgos's quote about realism!! Awesome!
To me at least i love how much emotion there was despite there seemingly being almost none. Every little thing said carried emotional weight and it really felt like i understood them as if i knew them personally. It was an awesome feeling.... I was also high so that helped!
Such a unique film. Aligoric. Surprising. Extraordinary.
Best film I watched this year. Too bad only small cinemas played it here in Greece
amazing movie, i was watching with anxiety, feeling the stress, every time I see Martin on the screen, something makes me feel off about him, even form his very fist scene in the movie..
really solid work!
Superb. A movie that is still creeping up on me and whispering in my ear - days after watching it...
Yorgos have same kind of a vibe to his movies as Michael Haneke, both excellent directors.
Yorgos is a creative force who makes different, but not pretentious, films. Haneke, not so much.
Audio samples in each of his movies, working slowly in the background, combined with focus on relationships between characters.. oh my, not one miss so far. I salute you Sir Yorgos.
This isn’t for everyone. Which makes it more for me
I can't wait to see this!! I love the shot that doesn't follow them into the bedroom, you can only hear them out of view.... it creates this kind of tension. like you're really there, and you're only privy to as much information as any other character in the film.
Under the Skin did something similar in a scene where people run into the sea and drown trying to save their dog, but the camera only watches from a distance. truly creepy cinematography.
Yorgos is the absolute master of dark comedy
It’s not a comedy you sociopath.
comedy?
@@uchechukunwachuku3117yeah?
This was one of the best movies I have ever seen.
Ryan Vargas I agree, saw a ton of people shitting on it when it came out. I’m assuming you saw it on Netflix?
@@elijahgavin6706 people shit on what they don't understand
I watched this as a rabid fan of anything A24 releases. I have watched it 3 times and it still haunts me. I agree. Perhaps the greatest film I've had the pleasure to see.
Already a big fan of this director. Loved this film and The Lobster.
The Lobster was Painfully Enjoyable!!
He completely masters CRINGE
articulated really well, thank you for the talk! can't wait for this film to come to my city.
the camera work
The frustrating thing about this kind of movie is that, because there are big "themes" at play, everyone who dislikes it is scoffed at for not "getting" it.
Yeah, The amount of people saying they want to know how Martin did it like there had to be a scientific cause really ticked me off. Like has the Internet forgotten what an allegory is!?
It’s all so metaphorical.
A breath of fresh air in cinema, Lanthimos. I start to believe again. 4:52, great!
Magnificent movie with so many layers - a classic and as haunting as The Shining. Bravo !
And the priestess Iphigenia sits among the Taurians sending her regards ...
A masterpiece. Maybe the best cinematic experience last 10 years. Go see it!!
it was the understated visual metaphors for me
Last time I liked a movie this much it was The Master.
Barry is amazing at playing creepy
kids
I assumed this film was directed by Super Hans, because of the powerful sense of dread.
The longer it went on, the more powerful the dread.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
More cor anglais
This film was so good!!!
Incredible film but the underlying truth of what this film is about is horrifying
It’s devoid of truth.
Seeing this on Friday.
Know nothing about this man or his films but randomly watch this film last night.
Very engaging and refreshing to actually want to me know what is driving all the characters and plot.
Going to watch his previous work👀
All the side plots fell flat until finally the main plot followed suit.
This is fucking incredible.
I'm glad I saw the movie without watching any trailer beforehand, and days are passing since I watched it and more things and connections comes to my mind and if at first I liked it but thought there were many things I didn't grasp, the more I think about it and the more I search the more I can have a clear picture of the dynamics in it.
The basic concept reminded me of Pasolini's Teorema (or Visitor Q by Takeshi Miike): a young man gets introduced to a family and somehow has the power to completely unsettle the balance of each member, both physical and psychological. There aren't other similarities that I can recall but that was the first impression in the first half of the movie
And...what is the point of telling such a story?
as a huge Miike fan, and more recently a fan of Yorgos, Dogtooh is more spiritually similar to Visitor Q
The film is reminding me of Stanley Kubrick's "Shining" very much. Good job, but what a psychothriller, my God.
I agree, gave me those vibes.
@jeff jones lol why is it horseshit? I'm only curious, sir
DOGTOOTH!!! Colin has seen Dogtooth, amazing guy and what an amazing chemistry between these 2
I missed the first 20 minutes of this film so I need to catch that. It was unnerving for sure but interesting
Well I got a very strong feeling that I'm going to really fucking enjoy this. time to watch
Thanks for the video
I don't think I've ever thought a film that I hated so much was so well executed stylistically.
But all the style achieves is as shadows on the wall of Plato’s cave.
I think this is one of the most superficial displays of film-school flash ever made. It’s purpose is to make the viewer feel increasingly uneasy and then alarmed and finally terrified, but the story is without substance. What morsel of wisdom is to be found in this incredibly painful story? Of all the profound stories in the world that could be told on film...what is the point of this movie? I challenge anybody to offer an answer and nobody here seems to bother. Everybody is dazzled by the style, but there’s no more substance than being stabbed in a dark alley by a robber. There’s no transcendent statement. It’s sound and fury signifying nothing.
@@stephennicholas1590 to me the point of the film is to primarily entertain. To keep at bay, at the edge of your seat. Unable to fully understand the why of what's happening. Most films nowadays have no depth. Don't cause you to think beyond what is being presented.
I thought it was about the inability of science to actually have a heart, a critique if you like of the text book robotic education of medicine over and above anything else, spirituality, god, or just actually talking to your kids nicely
U did that🥰
Accountability is another big theme if you ask me.
What a film! Totally unexpected and disturbing.
I already had an idea of what I thought it was going to be about and my God did he shock me!!!
Wow.
i need this ending explained yorgos
Boy is in this.
I still can't figure out why the secret the father shared with the son in the hallway has to be that particular scenario in the dialog.
Half of this movie was shock value trash leading to nothing
Martin knew his son was freaked the f out. Martin knew his son was possibly in shock from fear, so he HAD to wake his son up to get him to tell him anything helpful. He was just desperately telling the most self-shaming story he could think of off the top of his head.
superb film
Yorgos movies are amazingly directed. They are very well-written, well at least in the first half, because he always backs himself into a corner in the second half and just leaves the story there. Unfinished and unfulfilled. It was the case in the lobster and certainly in this movie as well.
top film
Ya'll are very intelligent people.
Watched it for a second time last night, it's such a great film. I see a lot of influences here, the shining, exorcist, psycho, probly lots more too. The way the films shot is amazing. How.the actors talk is purposely done to a t, you can just feel the dread impermiate the screen, I cannot wait to c poor things now
Best novie of the year by far. True masterpiece
Great film undoubtedly . Something so brilliant but simple about all the performances in this film . I feel like on paper Collin Farrells performance should not work because of mechanical he behaves and the result should be that all the audience sees is an actor doing a bad job instead of viewing him as his character, but instead I was really awed by his performance and his character and every scene he’s in he brings such a creepiness and makes you feel uncomfortable. Great performances by everyone
I watched this movie for the second time high on acid and I got to see the movie in a whole new light, very creepy, very disturbing of course. But so many gorgeous shots and angles I didn't really notice the first time.
Barry leaned his "American" accent from watching Michael J Fox. Listen for moments of "Marty McFly".
I'm still trying to figure out at which part where did he infect the kids the wife whoever
The gifts perhaps. The flowers and keychains.
this movie on shrooms is something else
Fun to read these comments and all the division. It's a pretty good, nicely directed film, but when the supernatural element arrives it's like we've been eating a very good meal and somebody slops a spoonful of mud on it. Appetite is quickly reduced.
I just watched this movie and then i took a dump and stared at my own shit for 2 hours before flushing. I had more fun staring at the shit.
The dogs name was Friday.
He’s having to pay for a patient he killed but what about all the people he saved by being a cardiologist?
4:48 A script “rendering you powerless” is really interesting. Antonioni probably had the same effect on his actors though Lanthimos seems much more trusting of his actors.
And where is the spiritual genius in rendering one powerless?
@@stephennicholas1590 I don't know if it's spiritual, or genius. It's effective. Life, especially in this film, just happens to the characters in his films. They make decisions but you feel as though their fate is in the hands of a god.
is yorgos half irish? i feel like i can hear some irish in his accent
nope he's greek from greece
The problem with all this new directora and novel writers coming out of school is that they ignore the human behavior or physiology, the solid science behind it all. Also they don’t care about the emotional response of their viewers It seems like they don’t know how to make you feel or don’t care or in some cases the try so hard that it makes the film annoying and unbearable
It’s narcissistic crap. Inflicting the most miserable experience possible on viewers is supposed to be “deep.” It’s shallowness. It’s sadistic. It’s post-modern vomit.
@@stephennicholas1590possibly a portion of his audience IS sadistic and he aims to please and boy does he EVER
I found the pace and tone of dialogue to be maddening. I was uncomfortable the entire time.
its becus you are normal and this illumenati evil movie made u feel like that.. its becus thats how it goes in thair ritual
Movie was creepy af.
The script is incredibly odd. Did David Lynch write it? Lol
Colin, Body's you don't have to do this alone
Got my gf to watch this after the success of Saltburn, she doesn’t like films (bizarre I know, I blame the internet,Instagram-tok), she hated this film altho I suspect it will atleast stick with her. Pretty sure I’m not gonna be watchin many films with her in the upcoming months. Sigh
I hated how the music would just pop up out of nowhere, just to remind you that this movie was suppose to be creepy
Who needs emotion? Amirite.
Anaesthetic film
Strange, strange movie.
How they ended up with a documentary about narcissistic family? Perhaps somebody drew from his experience, environment. We have an epidemy of narcissistic behaviors.
I loved the acting, the music, the cinematography and the intriguing start of the plot but I didn't care for the hair and masturbation stuff.
Can someone explain to me what's so special about Yorgos Lanthimos' movie? I mean I watched The Lobster and The Killing of a Sacred Deer and it's really bothering me out. Care to explain anyone?
Grammatical Erorr watch it again, if you dont get it after that its not for you
How do you not understand the lobster in the first viewing?
Yorgos movies dont have hidden meanings like Mother! etc. His movies are straight forward that create questions but arent needed to be answered. He doesnt even have answers, he just creates a cinematic experience thats intense, beuatiful, methodical, obscure , full of life and at the same time lifeless. For example all the characters of the sacred deer were so steep and monotonous but at the same time they were oozing emotion
this movie was so weird. not because of the story. frankly there are more bizarre stuff out there but the dialogue and the things such as Kim talking about her period and her dad talking about her period in a party and then all that talk about armpit hair. I struggled to find the relevance of all those weird talks.
The conversation is exactly reading a script,no emotion yet emotional.. no uh hmm or yeah.. its so creepy as f
Felt like all the characters had autism
what's with this guy and dead animals?
this movie is a take upon a greek tragedy where a half god kills a sacred deer and the gods demand that he has to sacrifice one of his kids, that is where the name of the movie comes from. i did not like the movie, it is acting very hard to be artistic and at the same time creepy. i thought the story was weak, with pretty dull attempts to shock the audience through being vulgar and disgusting. i have watched way better psychological thrillers, the director is pretty full of himself and might be enjoyed by some easy to impress watchers, but i think he is very overrated. the cinematography of this movie is not bad, the soundtrack is dull and attention seeking, but weak, the story is very flat, predictable and vulgar. basically this is a movie that just tries to be as annoying as possible so people cant look away - likened to a car wreck when you pass it on the highway.
It was good but not anything too great. But interesting and held my attention. The ending was meh but I guess it was fitting for the plot
Hahaha🤫🤔😷All in all, this guy gets it. A #ArtHouse #Dystopian #NeoNoir, master, lol. Btw, maybe being in daredevil, compelled ferrell to star in way better dark movies #InBruges #SevenPsychopaths #Lobster #KillingSacredDeer #TrueDetective
Yorgos Lanthimos to direct Star Wars!!!
jk
I just watched this film on TV and thought it was awful. The characters act like unemotional pod-people, the stilted, badly-written dialogue was exhausting and the lack of response by the parents to tragic events was in places comical. The style completely overwhelmed whatever story there was.
stick to Star Wars
Style devoid of Substance.
All surfaces...No Depth.
I found the stiff, monotonous acting quite distracting in this. I’m not sure that added anything to the story. Just had me wondering whether the whole family and the other kid were all on the autistic spectrum, as it couldn’t possibly be ‘just bad acting’ when I’ve already seen a few of them act in other films. If it was supposed to signify that they’re rational people, I feel like that would’ve came across regardless.
Yeah, I came looking for this video for this reason. I wanted to know why they had that monotonous acting and Colin Farrell just said that they were never told to do that they just did it for no specific reason? How odd
Its mostly a style thing but the director says that it just comes out that way with the process
To me, the dialogue and delivery was very uncanny valley- Just a bit off from being typically human. That’s what made the film so unsettling. I could see other folks being turned off by it, but it’s what drew me in.
Check out his other films and you’ll start to understand why. It’s uncomfortable, comical, and puts the focus on what’s being said rather than how it’s being said.
pretty bland and overrated movie, the director seems to be very full of himself and this movie is a reflection of his own arrogance. the story with the greek tragedy translated into some glossy movie full of tastelessness might be enticing to some, but can't hide that their is a serious lack of intellect when it comes to the story. gore and mysticism replaces true suspense and a clever plot.
Any Dentist will tell you tooth flossing is a waste of time.
Pretentious bullcrap made by people that think they understand art better than anyone else.
Very disturbing movie…
How can you have a story line ...Super heavy in these "non touchable type of themes" when you can't ask a simple ►WHY!!◄...90% of this is WTF and no reason for it!!!...and still knowing the Greek story part does not help in the least.
You have no reason why all of these ppl are doing this crazy crap...and not allowed to ask!!...
I thought it sucked and so did movie goers
Director doesn't make sense on one hand he says realism doesn't exist in cinema then in the other he doesn't want actors to show their intentions as he doesn't think that's realistic
Most people most of the time are UNaware of their intentions.
most disgusting in this movie was the overly sexualized presentation of the young girl. really makes me question the directors character and intentions. if you want to watch a movie that is just made to put the viewer of with maximum disgust then go and watch Necromantic.
Pretentious film, however, spell-binding in spite of myself.
The soundtrack to this film was perfectly horrible.
