Even award-winning directors with critical acclaim can find aspects of filmmaking “too daunting.“ Such is the case for Yorgos Lanthimos, who, after earning four Academy Awards for last year’s Poor Things, just celebrated the world premiere of his newest feature, Kinds of Kindness, at the Cannes Film Festival in May. During an interview with Collider’s Steve Weintraub, Lanthimos opens up about his process on set and how he approaches his work, as well as the ways he’s altered his methods, particularly with his latest feature.
Kinds of Kindness reunites Lanthimos with screenwriter Efthymis Filippou, who co-wrote his previous works Dogtooth, Alps, The Lobster, and The Killing of a Sacred Deer, and tells a collection of three stories that center on the idea of control. The film stars an ensemble of Lanthimos’ recently favored troupe — Emma Stone (The Favourite, Bleat, Poor Things), Willem Dafoe (Poor Things), Joe Alwyn (The Favourite) and Margaret Qualley (Poor Things) — as well as Mamoudou Athie (Elemental), Hunter Schafer (Euphoria), Hong Chau (Asteroid City), and Jesse Plemons (Civil War), who took home Cannes’ Best Actor award.
In this interview, Lanthimos talks about filmmaking influences whose contributions to art — “if you can call it that“ — make up who he is as a creator, how he works alongside his crew, and specifically his cinematographer, Robbie Ryan (Poor Things, The Favourite), and the change he made for Kinds of Kindness he’s considering for future projects.
