Director Ogland should understand that with a story as weird as this one, the style can go even more extreme.

But just like "The Lobster", the mismatch between the story and the style, even the hesitation in the telling, and the proliferation of religious symbols make films that could be cooler become less cool. In fact, the essence is still a question of ability. A good idea requires a broader ability to imagine and implement. It's a lot harder than a good idea.

The story of revenge moves forward in layers, how the characters take each step, and what will happen in the end, all grasp the hearts of people, making people want to know the final ending. It has the usual religion and mysticism in Lanthimos' films, but it still makes people very convincing about the trend of the situation. It is a very good-looking suspense film.

    It follows the ancient Greek-style revenge story, but the setting of a middle-class family encountering disasters like a fun game is still very uncomfortable. The soundtrack is horrible.

    The first thing I felt was the relationship of a family of four, which was directly related to the spinning random shot. However, with the music of eerie, in the vast and smokeless space created by photography, it seems that there is no higher purpose. The whole story revolves around the family complex of Oedipus, and in the end, the music and photography are dragged to the level of "mystery". But the phenomenon of movies is really interesting, although I often call it a hypothesis.
