Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone is set to reunite with acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos in the upcoming sci-fi anthology film, ‘Kinds of Kindness.’ Stone, who has impressed critics and audiences with her recent performances, will lead an ensemble cast that includes Hunter Schafer, Joe Alwyn, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, and Mamoudou Athie.
‘Kinds of Kindness,’ penned by Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou, is described as a ‘triptych fable’ that follows three distinct stories exploring themes of identity, control, and destiny. In one story, a man struggles to assert his autonomy, while in another, a policeman grapples with the return of his missing wife who appears to have undergone a profound transformation. The third story follows a woman’s relentless search for an individual with extraordinary abilities, destined to become a spiritual leader.
Lanthimos, known for his enigmatic and thought-provoking films such as ‘Dogtooth’ and ‘The Killing of a Sacred Deer,’ promises to deliver another surreal and captivating cinematic experience. Despite being tight-lipped about the film’s specific details, Lanthimos has hinted at its multifaceted nature, stating, ‘I still can’t tell you exactly what it is about. But I also wouldn’t want to tell you what I thought the stories are about because it just makes it so small.’
‘Kinds of Kindness,’ which recently premiered at the Cannes Film Festival, is set to hit theaters on June 28th. With its intriguing premise, talented cast, and the acclaimed director at the helm, the film is highly anticipated and promises to be a cinematic event not to be missed.
