Alps (2011)

Somehow the descriptions of Yorgos Lanthimos’s films still aren’t capable of conveying the batshit crazy ride they are set to lead the viewer on. In Alps, Angeliki Papoulia, a Lanthimos regular, is a nurse recruited to join Alps, a group that hires themselves out as living stand-ins for people with recently departed loved ones. All of that might be somewhat of a spoiler as it begins fairly cryptically, but it doesn’t go far in explaining the actual experience of watching the film.
