What Animal Are You?

The Lobster, the new film from Dogtooth director Yogros Lanthimos, is finally out on May 13th after a long winding road to release -- I saw it way way back at the New York Film Festival in October and have been accosting strangers on the street about its offbeat majesty ever since. It is wonderful! I've seen it a couple of times since then, and it totally gets better with every viewing.

Anyway if you don't know the gist of the story watch the trailer here -- the film's set at a resort of sorts where people go to find love, but if they don't find love within a prescribed amount of time, they are turned into an animal.

Absurd indeed, Olivia Colman. The movie's a wonderful absurdity, endlessly ridiculous in all the ways I adore. Anyway the fine folks at the distribution house A24 are the ones releasing the film and they've given us a great online game to play -- click here to find out what animal would best suit you! Here's mine, which I am totally down with:
