A viking ship appears on the horizon, a likeness of Alice Coltrane carved into its bow. Rare birds flock together to sing Francoise Hardy as soul hits. A sunset of blips and bleeps fills the air.

Agree Trouble....I thought the sound track in "The Favourite" (the title that is driving spellcheck mad) was great. The contrast between the wonderful minimalist sounds to the waves of classical washing the visuals. Neat film.

I saw Mary Queen of Scots because my mom demanded it. It wasn't bad, but we'd watched Roma on Netflix the previous night and by comparison MQOS seemed quite rushed. I'm wary of seeing The Favourite just because I hated The Lobster and it's the same director, though Olivia Colman is always great so that's a point in its favor.

We have to wait until NYD for release for The Favourite.

@melinda, The Lobster is not a comfortable film, disconcerting might be the correct word. It might be the case whether you accept the world in which it is set will decide your opinion. There were only us in the cinema when we saw it. Odd, that it was on at a multiplex.

"The Favourite" is based on a true story. Nothing like the "The Lobster" which I enjoyed. Haven't dived into "The Killing of a Scared Deer" which I hear is difficult to take.

In IMDB the review for The Lobster headline was "unpleasant." If its intent was to depict dating, American style in 2015 or whatever, it is probably correct.

The Lobster is a dystopian fictional piece set in the near future. All single people must go to The Hotel and find a mate within 45 days or be turned into an animal.

Avatar Swag For Life Member 10:27am
ɛɨk:

I'm at work so I can't really get into everything that's wrong with The Lobster. Don't even get me started. Calling The Lobster "uncomfortable" is almost like praising it because it makes it sound like it could be a worthwhile art film. It's as dumb as a Transformers movie. It's set in perhaps the single least realistic world ever seen in any arty film. I kept waiting for some allegorical value to its fantasy world, but there was none. Interesting dialogue? Nope. Characters? Zeroes. Good acting? Eh, the actors have nothing to work with. The description posted by WN is accurate, yet it makes it sound 1000x as interesting as it actually is. Boring, stupid, empty, dull, dumb. I'd rather watch Santa Claus Conquers the Martians again.

@sphere depends on who topples the others off the top of the heap. Who could beat Elza Soares? She was honored as Brazilian Singer of the Millennium?!?! Seriously. My life just changed.

Wild Neil||Peace All:

Wow eik, ok. I was trying to be neutral. By the way, I saw that movie where the guy dies and he is a literal ghost (bedsheet with holes in it) and his wife binge eats an entire pie. I hated that movie (hate is too strong a word maybe, it implies I felt something. I felt nothing. ) so much, I walked out without a second thought. It was literally the WORST movie I had ever seen, bar none, including that stupid movie about a poet my wife made me sit through once. REALLY REALLY REALLY bad. AVOID!
@eik-I was set up on a blind date, that was actually really good and we got married. Arranged marriages have a certain logic to them in my mind and could work in practice because, quiite often, in India, they do.

@Brian: that's very fitting (Vaseline on the edge of the lenses) because, as I recall, Alain-Fournier's narrative has the feeling of an airy fairytale, with time and space telescoped and then elongated in a truly childlike way.
