The Killing of a Sacred Deer
Steven (Colin Farrell) and Anna (Nicole Kidman) are a successful and seemingly happy doctor couple with a beautiful house and two children. But beneath the flawless surface, things begin to bubble when Steve befriends 16-year-old Martin (Barry Keoghan). Martin increasingly forces his way into Steven's life, visiting him unannounced in hospital and even inviting him home - to set him up with his mum. When this plan fails, he puts a curse on Steven's family. Inexplicable events take their course.
Inspired by the myth of Iphigenia, Lanthimos explores the question of guilt and atonement. The references range from Kubrick to Haneke in a fascinating and captivating film, the likes of which have never been seen before - and which you won't forget for a long time.
