“Kinds Of Kindness” Stars Joe Alwyn And Mamoudou Athie On Liberating Sex Scenes, Exploring “Dark” Characters, And The “Uncomfortable” Underbelly Of Yorgos Lanthimos’s Latest Movie
Summing up the new Yorgos Lanthimos movie, Mamoudou told BuzzFeed: “It’s easy to say ‘yes’ to something, but you also have to realize you’re going to have to do it, you know?”
Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos is renowned for two things: his outlandish movies with weird and wonderful scenes that are usually laced with dark undertones, and his tendency to hold onto the actors who he enjoys working with. And Joe said that he particularly appreciated the fact that he was playing such a dark character while surrounded by people who he loves and trusts, having established a good relationship with Yorgos, and being close personal friends with Emma for several years. This was represented in the fun that the cast had during one particular scene from the second short, which sees Jesse play a police officer who shoots Joe’s character in the hand, and then tries to lick the blood off as a way of apology.
