The author tries to characterize fresh and still unexamined so far in the world of contemporary art phenomenon of the “New Wave” in Greek cinema. In his opinion the cause of international success of Greek films lies not only in raw aesthetics used by the most of Grek directors, but largely in unusual use of language. He focuses on cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos, the main representative of this innovative film trend, which he interprets using the tools and concepts of Lacanian psychoanalysis.
