This week, we're taking a trip back to 2015, a year that seemed to bring a fresh wave of post-modern dystopian cinema. Join us as we delve into Yorgos Lanthimos' The Lobster, a darkly comedic tale where society dictates your relationship status with surreal consequences, and Ben Wheatley's High-Rise, a visually striking film that explores class warfare within the confines of a towering apartment block.
We'll discuss how these films challenge traditional dystopian narratives, offering a unique and unsettling view of the future. Is this what dystopia looks like in the modern era?
