9º – The Killing of a Sacred Deer (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2017)
A respectful doctor nurtures a strange relationship of friendship with a mysterious teenager.

As crazy as all the other films by the brilliant Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer’ uses a slow pace to tell his story. Little by little, we discover the real motivations of each character contained in the film, as we formulate our own theories for what is pulsating on screen. A great film that, it is worth saying, is not recommended for all audiences.
