Kinds of Kindness: A New Clip And Poster Have Been Released
Searchlight has released a new clip and poster for Yorgos Lanthimos's new film, Kinds of Kindness, which premiered at Cannes today.
Article Summary
- Searchlight reveals a new clip and poster for Yorgos Lanthimos' Kinds of Kindness.
- Cannes premiere garners early buzz, hinting at an unconventional, bold film.
- Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe feature in a scene with uncannily sharp dialogue.
- Kinds of Kindness sets its sight on a June 21, 2024, release in select theaters.
The Cannes Film Festival premiere of Kinds of Kindness has taken place, and early reactions are starting to come in. Much like Yorgos Lanthimos's other films, this probably isn't everyone's cup of tea, but if it is, it will probably be one of their favorites. Early reactions also say this might be his least approachable film in a while, which is fun. It's always good to see a movie that isn't here to do anything else but be exactly what it wants to be and not care if the general public likes it. It's going to be a fun June, that's for sure, and now we have a clip showing off the kind of film you're in for. The dialogue in this scene between Jesse Plemons and Willem Dafoe is so sharp while also being just stunted enough that it comes across as a tiny uncanny valley, love it. Also, we have another poster as well that is a more extreme version of the character posters released earlier this month. Please put this weird-ass film in front of my eyes; thank you.
