Being among the films that got exceptional reception by press and industry professionals, The Lobster by Greek director Yiorgos Lanthimos premiered this morning and it was followed by an all star cast press conference, including Colin Farrel, Rachel Weizs and Lea Seydoux.

Among the highlights of the conference was Lanthimos' will to return to his homecountry to do films, but as he explained - it is still extremely difficult.

We asked him about the female empowerment in The Lobster, as his female characters seem to be in charge and he humorously replied: "Everyone was telling me that women were supressed in my films, so I decided that it was about time to make them leaders".
