Heartless Woman

The Heartless Woman is a major antagonist on the 2015 internationally co-produced absurdist dystopian black comedy film The Lobster.

She was portrayed by greek actress Angeliki Papoulia

David discovers that his wife has left him for another man, and is escorted to a hotel. The hotel manager reveals that single people have 45 days to find a partner, or they will be transformed into an animal; the dog accompanying him is his brother.

Residents can extend their deadline by hunting and tranquilizing single people in the forest; each captured "loner" earns them a day.

David later decides to court a notoriously cruel woman who has tranquilized more loners than anyone else. Their initial conversation is interrupted by the screams of a biscuit-loving woman, who has severely injured herself jumping from a window. Although troubled by the incident, David pretends to enjoy the woman's suffering to gain the heartless woman's interest. He later joins her in a jacuzzi, and she feigns choking; when he does not attempt help, she decides they are a match. The two are shifted to the couples' suite. When David wakes up one morning, he finds she has kicked David's brother (in dog form) to death. When David cries in response, she concludes their relationship is a lie and drags him to the hotel manager to have him punished by turning him into an animal that no one likes. However, he releases himself and, with the help of a sympathetic maid, distracts and shoots the woman with a tranquilizer weapon in the back, at first David thought in giving her a horrible death by kicking her in the stomach several times just like she did with his brother and then stabbing her also in the stomach, but he concludes it would be pointless as she wouldn't feel anything because of the tranquilizer so he transforms her into an unspecified animal.
