Yorgos Lanthimos’s deadpan masterpiece dramatises Ludwig Wittgenstein’s proposition that <i>"the limits of my language mean the limits of my world"</i>. Through a chilling exploration of institutional power and control, the film exposes how profoundly our moral horizons and desires are constructed by our environment, challenging us to consider how much of our own "autonomous" subjectivity is simply the deterministic output of our milieux.DramaPT1H37M182026-11-03GRel
