Yorgos Lanthimos does it again! Another great movie for yuppy pseuds - all style but no substance. So, he takes a Greek myth and applies it to his usual schtick about robotic humanoids in order to create the tiniest bit of coherence. Does anyone really care? I can't see why his uses "name" actors (Farrell, Kidman) and has them recite inanities like a robot, other than defining a style. Why not use non-actors like Roy Andersson? It would certainly be a lot cheaper. As an aside, Colin Farrell is a putrid actor, so why use him at all - unless he is trying to one-up Martin McDonagh? There was a (very) slight chance for redemption in the scene where Kidman gives a hand-job to one of her husband's colleagues - the Warhol treatment (see Warhol's "Bad" for details.)
