Winner of the Oscar for Best Actress thanks to “Poor Creatures” (one of the four received by the feature film), Emma Stone did it again with director Yorgos Lanthimos. And “Kinds of Kindness”, their sketch film, is already revealed.
If we had to wait five years between The Favorite and Poor Creatures, the wait will be shorter before the next collaboration between Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos. Because it has already been filmed, and the actress had mentioned the project, on our microphone, during her visit to Paris last December.
Entitled Kinds of Kindness, the feature film now has a release date (June 21 in the United States and, we hope, at the same time in France). And a teaser which allows you to get an idea of the style of the film.
Three stories for seven actors
Or rather styles. Because Emma Stone told us that it would be a sketch film made up of three distinct stories, in which the seven main actors would play a different role each time. In view of the images revealed, we should expect a segment in black and white, another in warm colors, and another, the one where a purple car swerves, colder.
As a summary, in a few seconds illustrated by the famous “Sweet Dreams”, from the strange, disturbing and unpredictable cinema of Yorgos Lanthimos. Which finds some of the actors of Poor Creatures (Emma Stone, but also Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley), and their assistant Jesse Plemons, Hunter Schafer, Hong Chau and Mamoudou Athie.
Unveiled in Cannes?
As many people as you can expect to see in the South of France in May. Because with a release date planned for a month later, Kinds of Kindness is a perfect candidate for the 77th Cannes Film Festival. In Competition, where has Yorgos Lanthimos already presented The Lobster and Killing of the Sacred Deer?
