Yorgos Lanthimos interviewed by Jesse Armstrong | BFI London Film Festival 2025 Screen Talk

Описание: Writer and director Yorgos Lanthimos talks to Jesse Armstrong about his career, including Bugonia, which screened at this year's BFI London Film Festival.

Since his 2009 international breakthrough with Dogtooth, Yorgos Lanthimos has cut one of the most distinctive paths in contemporary cinema. Initially associated with the critic-coined Greek Weird Wave, which essayed Greek society in the aftermath of the 2009 economic crisis, Lanthimos soon set his focus on a wider arena, producing a series of satirically tinged films that examined contemporary life, often through the upending of genres and societal norms. Equally at ease working on other writers’ screenplays as he is developing his own with regular collaborator Efthimis Filippou, Lanthimos has created such fantastic visions of the world as The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Favourite, Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness. He will discuss these films alongside his new, darkly comic thriller Bugonia.
