Yorgos Lanthimos followed the Oscar®-nominated success of Dogtooth with this disquieting wonder centered on a group offering counseling services to the recently bereaved. Doubling down on the earlier film’s ritualistic interrogations of role-play, Alps is a mordantly funny, absurdist provocation.

A BLAST is the story of a generation's disillusionment and radicalization, set in the fervent years of the collapse of the Greek economy. Maria is unwilling to reconcile with a life of unreturned care, lost dignity and a broken-down desire to live. She attacks, in a relentless battle to find truth, in and around her.

After a stirring encounter with the French Foreign Legion, Ida, sets sail with her own corps of five men, none of whom speak the same language, to trace the route of this fabled troop. Their voyage will take them from Marseille to Algeria, the historical headquarters of the Legion. Along the way, boundaries blur. Life at sea produces a special kind of mutual understanding.

Chatila and Reda, desperate to escape Athens, face a crisis when Reda loses their savings to drugs. Chatila hatches a risky plan: posing as smugglers and taking hostages, hoping to flee their bleak situation before it's too late.

A festival hit nominated for an Academy Award®, Dogtooth is a darkly comic insight into a surreal world of parental control gone mad. As shocking and brutal as it is humorous, elegant, and entertaining, Greek “Weird Wave” auteur Yorgos Lanthimos’s film is bold and inventive cinema.

The story takes place at a mythological zoo in ’60s-era San Francisco, where a Japanese creature with the power to eat dreams escapes and finds itself wrecking havoc against the backdrop of American counterculture.
