Kinds of Kindness: Joe Alwyn & Yorgos Lanthimos Interview
Ойын-сауық
With Kinds of Kindness now playing in select theaters and expanding this weekend, Collider’s Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to chat with filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and Joe Alwyn, who previously worked with the director on 2018’s The Favourite opposite his Kindness costar, Emma Stone. While discussing the sets of Lanthimos’ visionary films, we learn a lot about how the filmmaker collaborates with his cast during his rehearsal process and throughout production, all the way to how the Safdie Brothers have inspired him to alter his editing process.
In Kinds of Kindness, Alwyn and Stone are joined by Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, Hong Chau, Mamoudou Athie, and Margaret Qualley in an anthology of dark-humored tales of human connection, power, and control. Like his previous movies (Dogtooth, Poor Things, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, to name a few), Kindness depicts humans congregating together, having conversations, and, of course, dancing, but always with an element of absurdity to keep audiences slightly off-balance.
We were curious how working on films like these looks on set and how it might affect its cast, who must go to some dark places. During this conversation with Lanthimos and Alwyn, they talk about the director’s methods to ensure his cast feels comfortable while filming, no matter what they have to do on the day of, and what they do during rehearsal to guarantee each actor will be able to try new things on set. Alwyn discusses why he likes being a part of Lanthimos’ universe, what he does between takes, and why he doesn’t take his characters home with him.

Great to see Joe and Yorgos together, fun pairing.
Looking forward to it! A new Yorgos film with Joe Alwyn in three different roles!
Really looking forward to seeing Joe in more movies or TV Shows
Interesting that Joe 💙💙 brings a history book on every set no matter if the film is historical or contemporary and studies it throughout the day of filming. Also interesting that Yorgos briefly dances (30 seconds) at every rehearsal process to make the actors feel more comfortable on set. It’s obvious that Joe has great rapport with Yorgos. It must have been a lot fun to work on this movie. It’s no wonder Joe, Willem and Emily like to work on Yorgos movies because it’s more like fun than work. I can’t wait to see it when it comes to theaters in my area.🍿🎥
Joe is so pretty, wow😅 I love you, Yorgo❤❤❤ thank you for your work and for Emily❤❤❤
Shout out Yorgos being hip to guitar nerd Steve Vai !! I saw this Kinds yesterday and I cannot stop thinking about it it's so violent sexy and loaded with dark humor I can't wait to watch again

Call it what u want ❤
I think Yorgos is tired of the promotional tour.

It has to be exhausting to answer the same questions/tell the same anecdotes to a dozen different media outlets within a few weeks.

Can’t wait for kind of kindness and the brutalist! (Off topic but Joe seems kinda off sometimes.. hope he’s ok and it’s just the jet lag)

He seems totally ok, btw it is difficult to talk about art and performing, art can’t be explained so easily and to do it over and over again for the press is exhausting

@@Sonia-gm2qt I am excited to see these movies too. Joe seemed fine to me. His responses to the interview were thoughtful. He and Yorgos obviously have great rapport. It sounds like being in Yorgos’s movies are great fun! On a side note, I have noticed the media seems to show photos of Joe when he is not smiling. When you see all the photos of him from the appearance, there are ones where he is smiling. It’s like they are trying to create a sad person narrative about him.

Is no one ever going to mention that Dogtooth is the same premise/ based of Castle of Purity(1973)?

If anyone asks you the softball question of what film people should see, the correct answer is always " the movie I'm here promoting". Jesus Christ, have the vaccines been this effective?

Joe has had a rough couple of years. But it seems he just wanted to be honest. This movie isn't the best one to introduce you to the director. Because of the Anthology aspect.

@@missdancefan oh ok good point. My comment wasn't aimed at Joe so much as just in general I've seen people have trouble with this question recently.
