The top 10 most inspiring quotes by Yorgos Lanthimos
- Telling a story is the way of exploring so many different things – human behavior, society, whatever existence.
- Everybody has a love/hate relationship with their own country.
- ‘The Lobster,’ at some point, was my most accessible film. Then I made ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer,’ which turned out to be not as accessible as ‘The Lobster.’ It was the film I wanted to make and the story I wanted to tell.
- I find it very interesting to keep people uncertain about what is what and figure it out as they go.
- I used to be quite negative about going back to Greece and making something, but there is a certain kind of freedom that I’ve experienced while I was making films in Greece that is hard to replicate elsewhere.
- When I look at my films, all I see is everything that went wrong.
- Provocativeā¦ I used to be defensive about it, but in the end, I realised it’s exactly right. It’s what we’re trying to do – to provoke thought and discussion and, you know, shake people up to start thinking about things in a different way. I’m interested in messing with what they think is the norm.
- I think you can tell a lot about people if you observe them as they’re observing.
- I make films to explore concepts and raise questions, not tell the audience what to think.
- For me, filmmaking is not about making statements but about exposing human behavior so people are eager enough to start thinking on their own and make their own assumptions.
