Logline

Entertaining, depraved, and wonderfully strange.

What could be crazier than a movie by Yorgos Lanthimos? That’s right: three movies! In this artfully grotesque anthology, the unorthodox director explores dependencies, alienation, and forbidden desires. The performers, each in multiple roles, demonstrate their versatility — including current Oscar-winner Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, who received the award for best actor at Cannes for this film.

KINDS OF KINDNESS

Yorgos Lanthimos

Yorgos Lanthimos studied directing at the Hellenic Cinema and Television School Stavrakos in Athens. The drama DOGTOOTH (FILMFEST MÜNCHEN 2009), about a couple raising their children in isolation, brought him international acclaim. His science-fiction comedy POOR THINGS (2023) earned the Golden Lion in Venice as well as four Oscars. KINDS OF KINDNESS premiered in the main competition at Cannes in 2024.
