Interviewer: I have to say I often think of Pasolini and his Teorema when I see your films. Yorgos Lanthimos: Yes, that is true, because Pasolini’s work is about the study of the bourgeoisie and the breakdown of society. So in that sense, yes, I am influenced by his films. However, he is a much more political filmmaker than I am.
