Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Léa Seydoux, and Ben Whishaw star in the movie from the Greek auteur, that naturally features a high concept narrative about love, with dashes of sci-fi, oddball humor, and more. Here’s the official synopsis:
A love story set in the near future where single people, according to the rules of The City, are arrested and transferred to The Hotel. There they are obliged to find a matching mate in 45 days. If they fail, they are transformed into an animal of their choosing and released into The Woods. A desperate Man escapes from The Hotel to The Woods where The Loners live and falls in love, although it is against their rules.
"The Lobster" opens on March 11th.
