What Iâve been watching: I recently caught
The Lobster on SBS On Demand. Wild stuff. Itâs a satire on relationships that swings tonally from comedy to horror, back to comedy and then horror. If you can imagine Wes Anderson doing horror, thatâs the tone of
The Lobster. Itâs set in an alternative universe where single people are marginalised and forced to go into an institution where they have to couple with other people. If they donât they are turned into animals. If they escape theyâre shot at for sport. The whole premise is if youâre not in a couple you are useless. As someone who was single for a long period of their adult life, it made me laugh a lot.
