Yorgos Lanthimos regulars Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe return for Kinds of Kindness — a triptych of sinister narratives starring the same ensemble, which mirror the cynicism of the director's early work.
The first is 'Sweet Dreams ', Eurythmics' instantly recognisable 80s paean to pain and pleasure. The second could be its contemporary companion piece: 'Brand New Bitch', a lascivious, dead-eyed number from the Swedish artist COBRAH, who, over a squelching bassline, dons dominatrix cosplay to extol the virtues of submission.
Kinds of Kindness mirrors the unvarnished cynicism of these earlier works with a triptych of separate, sinister narratives — all featuring the same ensemble, led by Jesse Plemons and Lanthimos regular Emma Stone. In the opening segment of Kinds of Kindness, Plemons and his wife Hong Chau live their lives based on Willem Dafoe's whims.The second instalment is all the more perverse. Plemons and Stone are now husband and wife: He is a beat cop named Daniel and she is Liz, a marine researcher recently rescued after going missing on a risky expedition.
Like any of Lanthimos's earlier joints, Kinds of Kindness surveys the failures of humanity and magnifies them into a universe of unsparingly bleak logic, where barbarity is banal and characters routinely degrade each other for sport. Among their adherents are a pair desperately trying to locate a mystical healer based on a ludicrously precise set of body measurements.
