Short description
In a dystopian near future, single people, according to the laws of The City, are taken to The Hotel, where they are obliged to find a romantic partner in forty-five days or are transformed into animals and sent off into The Woods.
What's left behind the scenes
- Many mistakenly believe that "The Lobster" was the first film that director Yorgos Lanthimos shot in English. In fact, his first such film was a short film called "Necktie" lasting only ninety seconds, shot as part of the "Venezia 70: Future Reloaded" project.
- Scenes inside the hotel were mostly shot at the Eccles Hotel in the village of Glengarriff in County Cork. Many street scenes were filmed near the Parknasilla Hotel in the village of Sneem.
- The film was shot almost entirely using natural lighting. Electric lighting was only used for filming some night scenes. The actors were not made up.
- Jason Clarke was initially considered for the lead role in the film, but he had to decline due to commitments to other projects.
- Most of the film was shot in County Kerry, but city scenes were filmed in Dublin.
- Many episodes of the film were shot inside and around the Parknasilla Hotel in the village of Sneem (County Kerry, Ireland).
- "Filmcasino" in Vienna, Austria, was the only cinema in a German-speaking country to screen "The Lobster," so there is neither a German-dubbed version of the film nor even a version with German subtitles.
- In the scene where David and his wife dance in the forest, they play “Where The Wild Roses Grow” by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Kylie Minogue on their CD players.
