Die Liebe ist eine Zwangsjacke...

Reviewed in Germany on 11 March 2019

Verified Purchase

Alles, was man in Sachen Liebe und Beziehungen diskutieren könnte, erzählt diese grossartige Dystopie „The Lobster" aus dem Jahr 2015 unter der Regie von Giorgos Lanthimos .
Und noch viel mehr....

In der Welt von „The Lobster" ist es sogar bei Strafe verboten, sich nicht zu verlieben. Wer alleine bleibt, wird in ein Tier verwandelt. Er wird ausgestoßen.

Die Geschichte ist schnell erzählt: Der kurzsichtige Architekt David (Colin Farrell mit stattlichem Schnauzer und Wohlstandsbauch ) wird von seiner Frau verlassen. Also kommt er liebeskummerkrank in das Hotel. Dort versucht er 45 Tage lang, sich in einen der anderen Singles zu verlieben, um nicht als Tier zu enden. Das darf man sich wenigstens aussuchen. David wählt den Hummer. Denn er mag das Meer.

Die im Hotel gestrandeten einsamen Seelen haben einen Makel, der ihnen die Partnerwahl vorgibt. Denn, so glaubt man, nur Menschen mit ähnlichen Fehlern passen zusammen. So sucht ein junger Mann namens John eine Frau mit einem ebenso steifen Bein wie er selbst eines hat. Und findet, als seine Nase plötzlich anfängt zu bluten, eine hübsche junge Frau mit ständigem Nasenbluten.
„Was ist schlimmer", fragt er den misstrauischen David, „in ein Tier verwandelt zu werden, oder sich ab und zu selbst die Nase blutig zu schlagen?" Was ist schlimmer, fragt man sich nun auch als Zuschauer. Und da kommen interessante Gedanken auf.

Der griechische Regisseur Giorgos Lanthimos, der auch mit dem Hirnverbieger „The Killing of a sacred Deer“ die Grenzen des Erträglichen erkundete, erzählt die Geschichte von Davids Verkuppelung als dystopischen Thriller, schräge Komödie und hoffnungslose Romanze. Rund um das Hotel und seine Bewohner zeigt er uns eine Welt voller Horror und Herzenskälte. Und doch ist sie nah genug an unserer, um Gänsehaut zu machen. Dieses Hotel symbolisiert das geistige Gefängnis, in das uns unsere Vorstellung von „richtiger" Liebe zwängt.

Der unvermittelbare David flieht schließlich aus dem Hotel zu den Lonern, einer Gruppe von Gesetzlosen, die im Wald leben und sich geschworen haben, sich nie zu verlieben. Dort, natürlich, verliebt er sich in eine ebenfalls kurzsichtige Frau (Rachel Weisz). Und sie sich in ihn. Ihr Glück scheint fast greifbar. .....

„The Lobster" hat viel: großartige Bilder einer irischen Landschaft, kühl und klamm wie ein entliebtes Herz. Ein trauriges Streichquartett im Hintergrund. Einen Colin Farrell, der den Langweiler David spielt wie eine Handpuppe, ohne Antrieb, ohne Eros, also tragischerweise ohne irgendetwas Liebenswertes, einfach grandios. Dazu Lea Seydoux als wunderschöne, aber kalte Anführerin der Loners, die Flirten mit dem „Red Kiss“ bestrafen, dem Abschneiden der sündigen Lippen.

Sadistische Gewalt, schmerzhaft nahe Figuren und eine heimliche Liebesgeschichte – das alles erlebt man körperlich mit. Man krümmt sich selbst zusammen, wenn John sich die Nase auf einem Tisch blutig schlägt, um endlich geliebt zu werden und riesig reißt man die Augen auf, wenn David und seine Geliebte vor ihren Häschern durch den nebligen Wald fliehen. Und man verkrampft mitleidsvoll, wenn die Hand eines Hotelinsassen in den Toaster gesteckt wird, weil er beim Onanieren erwischt wurde, der Todsünde in einer Gesellschaft, welche die Verpartnerung totalitär durchsetzen will.

Ein packender Film mit unglaublich vielen skurrilen Momenten. Sehr sehenswert.

Four Violets

OK if you like the nuts, the absurd, the surreal

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 May 2018

Verified Purchase

CONTAINS SPOILERS
This is undeniably an extremely odd film. It is about life lived in three different places, the city where everyone has to be part of a couple or be challenged by the police to produce your couple certificate; the woods where singles are banished to live a miserable outdoor life, or the hotel where newly single people are given some time to find a match. A match might be someone who has a similarity to you such as a limp, same blood group, tendency to nose bleeds etc - ie it's totally random. The singles from the hotel are taken out to hunt the singles in the wood, shoot them with tranquilisers, and they are returned to the hotel to be turned into animals. The hotel singles who fail to find a mate are also turned into an animal of their choice.
David's wife leaves him so he is sent to the hotel with his brother in the form of a dog. Eventually after forays to the woods and the city he and another woman plan to escape, but they will only be able to live together if they can find a similarity.
The end is uncertain, and there are three possibilities: either he goes through with the drastic way to make them similar, or he chickens out, or he just pretends he has undergone the dreadful act.
The film is totally nuts and absurd, for example we don't know how on earth the people in the woods really live and survive. I didnt actually find it that funny, it is too horrific and disturbing,and at time absolutely gory.
But it kept my attention.
If you have a real love of the absurd and quite a strong stomach, and are able to accept the surreal, you might enjoy this.
The cast is excellent.
I'd probably give it 3 1/2 stars.

It's 3.5 stars.
The description of the events are described in Amazon information. about the film

It's deliberately filmed and acted in this sort of strange wooden way. To make the actual events described as okay because it's not real, straight acting.
That bizarre acting is quite carefully done to portray the daft events.
I saw it as an allegory for real life.

Society accepts and believes in couples. Matched in some way, through having something in common.
They get along. (this does not just include heterosexuals). This does not mean marriage.
In this film the author believes that those who choose a single life (without partner) are not treated as well their coupled associates.
Sometimes people find things in common, to be together, which are not real, but faked.
This is very true to life, as so many partnerships end up ending.

It's a very personal view of someone's take on life. which makes interesting viewing. All acted out in this strange film where if they are not a couple, they end up an animal.
They get to choose which animal they want to be. (the singles choose what life they want)
However, the advantages of living as a couple are forfeit. ?tax laws/love/security/someone to care for you and protect you?

I liked it. But the film is a little too slow so only 3.5.

I hate slow pretentious arty films. This is genuinely hilarious.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 24 February 2019

One important piece of advice for anyone without a very tough constitution - fast-forward one minute about halfway through after the wedding when she describes what she did to the dog. I disagree with the reviews stating the film contains animal cruelty - there's just this one scene where an act is described. Apart from that it's hilariously surreal. The dialogue is wonderfully bizarre, especially the scene when they fight about whether or not someone is wearing contact lenses. It's rare these days to find a film where you can't predict the whole thing from the first 5 minutes.

Dreadful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 30 November 2020

Worst film that I have seen for a long time. Not in the least funny, very sick and ultimately boring. I only watched it until the end hoping that at some time it would have something to save it, but no it just droned on. I can’t believe such a good cast could be in such a dreaded movie. Wish I could give it zero stars.
