Kinds of Kindness

Known for his bizarre masterpieces (The Favourite, The Lobster and Poor Things), director Yorgos Lanthimos jumps forward to the present day to paint a series of three darkly comic short films, which use the same cast.

KINDS OF KINDNESS is a triptych fable, following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life; a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person; and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability, who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.

A man seeks to break free from his predetermined path, a cop questions his wife's demeanor after her return from a supposed drowning, and a woman searches for an extraordinary individual prophesied to become a renowned spiritual guide.
