The Favourite trailer: The Lobster director Yorgos Lanthimos' surreal new film stars Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz

Firstpost  

The Favourite is a period drama set in 18th century England, and it looks just as surreal and absurd as anything Lanthimos has ever made. Yorgos Lanthimos, the filmmaker who has given us true pieces of absurd art with movies like Dogtooth, The Lobster and The Killing of a Scared Deer, is returning with a biographical historical film titled The Favourite. The trailer of the film was released today, and it looks just as surreal and absurd as anything Lanthimos has ever made. It stars Olivia Colman, Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz, Nicholas Hoult, Joe Alwyn, James Smith and Mark Gatiss.
