What’s the Kinds of Kindness plot?
Kinds of Kindness is a “triptych fable” about a man trying to take control of his life, a policeman who is suspicious of his wife who returned after going missing, and a woman looking for a spiritual leader with special abilities.
Searchlight PicturesThe term trypitch is more commonly associated with photography; it’s when three individual images are presented together to act as a singular piece of art, while still being able to be viewed as singular photos.
In cinema, this is similar to vignette anthology-style storytelling. So, we’ll see three unique stories that, when presented together in the film, complement each other.
The script was written by Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou, who co-wrote The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lobster, Alps, and Dogtooth.
Is there a Kinds of Kindness trailer?
A Kinds of Kindness teaser trailer was released on March 27, 2024 and you can watch it here.
In typical Lanthimos fashion, it’s an intense, visually striking, trailer with plenty of shock factor. It’s sure to be another memorable big-screen experience. What’s great about this trailer, too, is the fact it gives very little away in terms of what the movie will be about. It’s pure vibes and nothing else, and we love that.
