The Lobster (2015)

"The Lobster" is a deadpan dystopian satire about single people forced into a hotel where they must find a partner or be turned into an animal of their choosing. The absurdist premise gives way to some strikingly bare, unfiltered moments of intimacy, and Ariane Labed brings a raw physicality to her role that the film isn't shy about showing. Two scenes on site capture her nude, unguarded in ways that suit the movie's clinical, stripped-down tone. Fans of arthouse cinema with a voyeuristic edge will find this one worth digging into.
