Dark Comedy Examples ►► http://bit.ly/34EKNuQ

In this video essay, we’re going to discuss the dark humor in The Lobster, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. What is dark humor and how does Lanthimos make it so uncomfortable to laugh? Our video essay will give you some film analysis and filmmaking theory that shows why Yorgos Lanthimos films are some of the smartest and dark movies around. This is The Lobster explained.

How do you go about directing a movie like The Lobster, which such pitch-black humor? How do you get the cast in the right frame of mind? This seemed to be the case for Yorgos Lanthimos when he directed The Lobster with actors Colin Farrell, Rachel Weisz, Olivia Colman, Ben Wishaw, and John C. Reilly bringing stellar performances that breathe life into the concept of dark humor.

After directing The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos went on the direct the Academy Award-nominated film The Favourite, which has since cemented Yorgos Lanthimos movies as must-see films, and Lanthimos as a director is now seen as royalty in the world of dark humor (or dark humour if you’re British).

Our video essay not only talks about the filmmaking theory but also gives you some filmmaking tips and scene analysis that you can use to level up your dark comedy movies. If you need inspiration on writing and directing dark humor, look no further than Yorgos Lanthimos’ uncomfortably hilarious The Lobster.
