Selected films at Teatro Santa Ana, La Biblioteca, in October The Lobster | Dir. Yorgos Lanthimos Ireland | Dystopian Romance In English | 118 min In this highly original film, single people must find a mate within 45 days or be transformed into an animal of their choice. Deadpan, both funny and moving, Greek Lanthimos’s satire is a triumph of cinematic surrealism. In the film’s ruthless world, couples deserve official protection, and the privilege of being left alone by The State. Single people are accosted in public spaces with demands for appropriate papers. Lanthimos is interested, here and in his other films, in the pathological human need for systems. This is his first English-language film. Following the screening, there will be a discussion with Amy Cotler. Wednesday, October 21 | 1:15 pm Teatro Santa Ana in Biblioteca Pública Donation $120 pesos benefiting la Biblioteca
