Lanthimos is diving into anthology territory this time with 'Kinds of Kindness', a film featuring familiar faces like Emma Stone and Willem Dafoe and exciting new collaborators like Jesse Plemons and Hunter Schafer.

Searchlight Pictures has dropped the teaser of 'Kinds of Kindness', which is scheduled to be released in the United States on June 21, 2024.

From the teaser, we can tell that it features a modern aesthetic approach, in contrast to Lanthimos' usual stylized worlds. Still, expect his signature dark humor along with sharp editing.

The info surrounding the plot is limited, however judging by Lanthimos' past works like 'Dogtooth' and 'The Lobster', we can expect a bizarre, perception-horrifying exploration of human relationships.

Searchlight Pictures' official synopsis reads, “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.”
