Classic Movies Live – Season 5, Episode 21: Kinds of Kindness
July 3, 2024
On this week’s episode of Classic Movies Live!, our hosts talk about the second Yorgos Lanthimos film in just as many years!
Starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemmons, and Willem Dafoe, alongside an ensemble supporting cast, Kinds of Kindness is a “triptych fable”, an anthology spanning three unique stories loosely related via theme and the mysterious initials “RMF.” Described by some as Lanthimos’ “meanest” work, Kindness was already divisive when it premiered at Cannes and won Plemmons the Best Actor award. With Lanthimos’ latest now out in the wild, which side of the fence do our hosts land on? And what exactly are the thematic links between the various stories of RMF?
The answers to all these questions and more in today’s episode of Classic Movies Live!
