Off-season in Greece: the beaches and hotels are empty, but one improbable trio is making a killing. This is it, the first solo feature from Yorgos Lanthimos introduces a maid, a photographer, and a cop with a predilection for BMW cars and Russian women as the unlikely stagers of a macabre murder play wherein the group reenacts local homicides in a fiendish game of dress-up. Bearing Lanthimos’ trademark austere environments, deadpan delivery, and ritualized quirk, this decidedly lo-fi puzzler is a clinical examination of the director’s fascinations with the eccentricities of human behavior.
