Perhaps it would have been perfect if it was released on Valentine’s Day, but we’re just glad that it’s getting a U.S. release soon.

The Lobster has Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz in a dystopian future where he has to find a significant other within a small amount of time or he’ll turn into an animal, albeit, one of his choosing.

If that doesn’t already have you at least intrigued, here’s the trailer.

Hooked? Great. Mark your calendar for A24′s May 13th release date.

The idea of love in dystopian society has been pondered now and again in the arts, but rarely has it gone as Kafka-esque from the get go as The Lobster where if you don’t fall in love, you’ll turn into an animal.

Director and co-writer Yorgos Lanthimos and co-writer Efthymis Filippou have made what looks to be, from this trailer, a sheer delight starring Colin Farrell and featuring Rachel Weisz, John C. Reilly, Ben Whishaw, Lea Seydoux, and more.

The Lobster opens its theatrical release in the UK on Oct. 16th and will hopefully its way across the pond soon after.

Though Cannes Film Festival is more synonymous with very timely and hard hitting dramas, high concept, socially conscious, and/or foreign comedies do have a place there.

At Cannes, Distributor Alchemy has bought up the U.S. rights to The Lobster, a dystopian futuristic romantic comedy where it’s illegal to be single, starring Colin Farrell, and Italian dramedy Mia Madre co-starring John Turturro.

IFC Films has acquired the U.S. rights to international war comedy “A Perfect Day” which includes the cast of Benicio Del Toro, Tim Robbins, Olga Kurylenko, and more.

Having the stamp of approval of premiering at Cannes, we hope to see all these films theatrically released in the States soon.
