Yorgos Lanthimos’ dystopian drama “The
Lobster,” co-written with Efthymis Filippou, was nominated on Tuesday in the Best Original Screenplay
category of the 89th Oscars, making it the second time the 43-year-old
filmmaker looks forward to bringing home one of the coveted gold
statuettes.
The award-winning filmmaker is joined in the ranks of Oscar hopefuls by another Greek, Daphne Matziaraki, whose “4.1 Miles” was selected for the Best Short Documentary category.
“The Lobster” stars Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz as two people looking for love in a world where you are turned into an animal if you fail to make a romantic attachment.
