Lobster LP

Album Details

Limited colored vinyl LP pressing. Academy award nominated film and winner of the 2015 Cannes Film Festival Jury prize (among many others), The Lobster is a dystopian comedy-drama directed by Yorgos Lanthimos (Dogstooth, The Killing Of A Sacred Deer) and co-written by Efthymis Filippou that stars Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman. Love is a crazy thing that's as perverse as the relationships that come with it, living in the digital age of love-matching and profiling, The Lobster tackles humanity's struggle with love, the fear of loneliness and societal issues. Forced by the government to find a partner in 45 days under their watchful eye and extreme training program or you'll be turned into an animal to survive in the woods. The absurdist sci-fi horror movie sees residents out hunting for 'Loners' who once caught are sent off to face their fate in return for extra time to find love that keeps them alive. Out in the woods alongside them are celibate freedom fighters that have joined the resistance, it is here a love story unfolds. Curated by Lanthimos and music supervisor Amy Ashworth, the soundtrack "brings the film's edgy tension and menace to the fore" (Screen Daily) with orchestral renditions of Beethoven, Stravinsky and Shostakovich alongside Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds with Kylie Minogue on 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' and Sophia Loren with Tonis Maroudas on 'Ti Ein Afto Pou To Lene Agapi'.
