What's left behind the scenes

  • The film was shot almost entirely using natural lighting. Electric lighting was only used for filming some night scenes. The actors were not made up.
  • Many scenes from the film were shot inside and around the Parknasilla Hotel in the village of Sneem (County Kerry, Ireland).
  • Most of the film was shot in County Kerry, but city scenes were filmed in Dublin.
  • Jason Clarke was initially considered for the lead role in the film, but he had to decline due to commitments to other projects.
  • Scenes inside the hotel were mostly filmed at the Eccles Hotel in the village of Glengarriff, County Cork. Many of the street scenes were filmed near the Parknasilla Hotel in the village of Sneem.
  • Many mistakenly believe that 'The Lobster' was the first film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos in English. In fact, his first such film was the short film 'Necktie,' lasting only ninety seconds, filmed as part of the 'Venezia 70: Future Reloaded' project.
  • Filmcasino in Vienna, Austria, was the only cinema in a German-speaking country to show 'The Lobster,' so there is no German-dubbed version of the film, nor even a version with German subtitles.
  • In the scene where David and his wife dance in the forest, they play 'Where The Wild Roses Grow' by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds and Kylie Minogue on their CD players.
