Lanthimos' dark comedies are rife with weighty themes, feature outstanding casts, and make pointed social commentary on the corrosive effects of greed and power. Focusing in on three of his most heralded films (<em>Dogtooth</em>, <em>The Lobster</em>, and <em>The Favourite</em>), this episode serves as a&nbsp;celebration of a bold visionary and master world-builder whose films find a unique way to both fascinate and disturb.</p>","author_name":"Welcome To The Party Pal / Osiris Media"}
