Kinds Of Kindness
Yorgos Lanthimos’ gothic fairytale Poor Things was a hit last year that cleaned up at the Oscars. For Kinds Of Kindness, the absurdist director has teamed up again with Hollywood star Emma Stone, as well as Joe Alwyn, Margaret Qualley, Hunter Schafer and Willem Dafoe. It’s an anthology-style film that drew critical acclaim in competition at this year’s Cannes film festival.
