Cutting edges

HALfie's picture Submitted by HALfie on

An apparently depressing aesthetic hides the recurring brutal Lanthimos’s directing style where roles are intentionally flat and disturbing.

Metaphorically speaking, Alps and Dogtooth show the same cutting edges in a reverse way, letting the viewer disoriented; both of them analyze the family unit seen from opposite points of view.
