Director Yorgos Lanthimos returns to his nihilistic, sicko ways with “Kinds of Kindness,” a sex-and-cruelty-packed film that had Cannes cheering for its unapologetic bizarreness.
, was ultimately a nice movie for the director. Yes, it was bizarre and filled with sex scenes, but when you really boil it down to its essence it was the uplifting story of a woman gaining her sense of self and thus unusual in his oeuvre, which is full of bleak comedies where fathers lie to their children to keep them imprisoned at home and a happy ending means blinding yourself., a film of a much different outlook on humanity.
which capitalized on his ability to combine the folksy with the disconcerting. Here, he has one of his best showcases to date, playing desperate men driven to their extremes. In the first part, he is Robert, a sub who has given over control of his life to Raymond . When Raymond asks Robert to injure himself in a car accident and go to the hospital, potentially killing the other driver—a silent figure called R.M.F. who appears throughout the film—Robert refuses.
Finally, however, Lanthimos cedes the floor to Stone. Plemons is there too, glowering, but it is Stone’s show as she becomes Emily, a woman who has left her husband and child to join a cult led by OMI and AKA , who make their followers and sexual devotees drink their tears and have sex with them every night. Emily and her partner are on a quest to find a woman who can raise the dead, but Emily is drawn back to her daughter, which risks making her impure to OMI and AKA.
