Shortly after his unconventional alternate-history science fiction film “Poor Things” triumphed at the Oscars with four wins, director Yorgos Lanthimos returns with his latest project, “Kinds of Kindness.” Reuniting with a star-studded cast including Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer, Lanthimos ventures into new cinematic territory.
“The first story is this odd, almost father and son relationship. The second one is safety in marriage and in home. Then, the third has to do with the security that faith provides. Some of Yorgos’ characters feel like their own islands, desperately trying to reach each other. It’s awkward and uncomfortable and tragic and funny.”
“Kinds of Kindness” arrives in theaters on June 21, 2024.
