Why this pick
A similarly austere Greek absurdist drama, built around a man whose arbitrary routines and relationships become quietly comic and disorienting.
Why this pick
It shares Alps’ clinical framing and pitch-black humour, using performed emotion and bizarre everyday behavior to make grief deeply uncomfortable.
Why this pick
Its rigid games of judgment among friends offer the same dry, observant cruelty and unnerving sense that social rules have become absurdly literal.
Why this pick
Lanthimos preserves the flat, controlled performances and moral unease of Alps, but channels them into a colder and more ominous family nightmare.
