What would you do if society forced you to find a romantic partner, or else be turned into an animal? How much pressure do we feel to be in relationships, and how much of that is truly our own desire? In this thought-provoking Watch & Talk, we’ll dive into scenes from The Lobster, a surreal and darkly comedic film by acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos and starring Colin Farrell that explores a dystopian world where being single is a punishable offense. Critically praised for its originality, sharp satire, and haunting aesthetic, The Lobster dares us to question the rules of love, identity, and social conformity._x000D_

As we watch selected scenes together, we’ll reflect on the deeper themes of the film, including the societal pressure to couple up, the tension between conformity and individualism, and the struggle for authenticity in modern relationships. We'll also explore ideas around freedom, choice, and personal agency in a world where love is both a requirement and a rebellion._x000D_
