The question, of course, is whether or not Yorgos Lanthimos‘ Kinds of Kindness, which has called itself a “triptych fable” as well a boilerplate anthology film, will somehow weave these stories together…will they cross-pollinate the way the three Pulp Fiction stories did?
Wiki snopsis: “Kinds of Kindness is a triptych fable with segments following (a) a man without choice who tries to take control of his life; =(b) a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing at sea has returned and seems to be a different person; and (c)a woman who is determined to find a specific someone destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.”
Oh, God…the third storyline sounds deadly.
The costars include Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie and Hunter Schafer.
I’m pretty certain this is the first film featuring the super-thin version of Plemons. He dropped a ton of weight between late ’22 and early ’23). Full HE respect — I wish I had Plemon’s discipline.
