The Lobster (2015)



In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into beasts and sent off into The Woods.

Ambitious, absurdist satire has a great cast and some good surreal moments, but lacks any discernible humor, and it's unclear what it tries to convey; one despairs at the thought, what Buñuel would have made with its premise.
