One of the best active directors, hasn't made a false step so far

[arman]

Such a genius. I hope he never ever tries to "adapt to the machine" and lose his unique style in the process.

[JordanTelezino]

his films are amazing, they really show the human experience and how bizarre yet natural it is

[wvarley]

Certainly one of the best directors currently working. I'm sure he'll have many more amazing films throughout the next decade.

Love how Alfonso looks at Yorgos with such admiration

[asicdathens]

He made some really crazy commercials in Greece. My all time favorite was the village cop "Put the cots down slowly" for a cable provider in Greece

[adam-llyf]

I’ve always admired his strange and unique take on his films, but after seeing the masterpiece that is The Favourite he has quickly risen to the very top of my list of directors. Yorgos is someone I heavily look up to, and I am so happy he’s getting more recognition with this most recent film. He really deserves it.

1:30 ALL OF THEM RELATED SO HARD THAT WAS SO ADORABLE HAHA

[hamzariazuddin]

Loved what he said about limitations with English speaking film. He’s really getting at something specific here I even find when watching US production films where you feel a certain tick box has to be met and there is a no go zone which must be avoided at all costs. From really loving European / soviet or just non US American cinema, I find the shackles are let loose which allows for true creative and original expression!

highly recommend yall see The Favourite, its a masterpiece

[jml]

I am utterly obsessed with him. I love how much some people hate him, and why. I think that means he's doing something really great. I know that sounds pretentious but I don't mean it that way. His movies are definitely not for everyone and it's totally valid to be legitly upset by them and not into it. I think he feels that way too. I'm just so fascinated by how his works make people react in all sorts of ways. I love them to death. Still need to see Dogtooth and The Favorite but TKOASD is my second favorite movie of all time and one I am utterly profoundly obsessed with.

[marval]

I really liked the Lobster! The ending was great!

[averybrooks]

I enjoyed The Favourite, and probably would say it's my favorite Lanthimos film. I've liked all his movies but I don't think he's made his masterpiece yet, although I have faith in his ability to make one.

[l.e]

Yorgos Lanthimos is one of my favorite director, he is fucking talented ! Photography in his film his AWSOME ! God bless him.

[elenakara]

+1 for Yorgos Lanthimos if you think he should be an Oscar winner ! Who's with me ?!

[MissPenny]

Ένα τεράστιο μπράβο στον Γιώργο Λάνθιμο!

[pheba]

Such a huge talent for a small country like Greece. He sure puts a great name to us. He is making us believe that one day Greeks will be rise again and make extrodinary things in the art scene.
Γιώργο σ ευχαριστούμε. Να κρατάς μόνο τα καλά που ακούγονται για εσένα στην Ελλάδα. Η παιδεία αυτης της χώρας βουλιάζει και πολλές φορές δε σε καταλαβαίνει. Μη μας ξεχάσεις όμως.
Καλή σταδιοδρομία στην ήδη επιτυχημένη σου πορεία!

[alexjtrimble]

Yorgos & Alfonso are really handsome.

[kimmy]

This man is a goddamn genius don't @ me

[marymary]

I hope it's either him or alfonso quaron that takes home the academy award for best director
