Kosmos Yorgos
KOSMOS YORGOS
Arguably the most beguiling and bewildering filmmaker of a generation, Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos has made the cinema an exciting, hilarious and dangerous place again for films that test audience members’ morals, patience, and taste. Each film in his career views the world through a bizarre and surreal lens that can flip from farce to horror in seconds. With the release of Lanthimos’ newest film POOR THINGS, we celebrate Lanthimos with the KOSMOS YORGOS series.
