Larry Talks To Yorgos Lanthimos, Director Of New Film ‘Kinds of Kindness’

In a surprise announcement following the success of his film “Poor Things,” which received 11 nominations at this year’s Academy Awards and was awarded 4, director Yorgos Lanthimos took no time to announce his new film “Kind of Kindness.” The film is an anthology, telling 3 distinct stories about love, through the dry and dark humor that many have associated with Lanthimos’s screenplays. So what compelled Lanthimos to partner back up with his longtime screenwriting collaborator, Efthimis Filippou, for this new project? Joining us to discuss his latest film is Yorgos Lanthimos, director and co-screenwriter of “Kind of Kindness.”

“Kinds of Kindness” is out now in select Los Angeles and New York theaters; the film is out in Wide Release in June 28.
