Yorgos Lanthimos on Why He Wanted to Connect the Three Stories in ‘Kinds of Kindness’ Through Mysterious Character RMF: ‘His Presence Was Pivotal’
Yorgos Lanthimos explains why he wanted to connect the three stories in 'Kinds of Kindness' through one character named RMF.
“Kinds of Kindness” tells three stories — about a man who attempts to take control of his own life, a policeman whose wife seems like a different person after being lost at sea and a woman who is in search of someone with a special ability — with Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Mamadou Athie and Joe Alwyn portraying different roles in each. Athie recalled playing “a lot of theater games” and doing “some clown stuff” with his co-stars to prepare for the nearly three-hour anthology film. Although he appears briefly in the second vignette, titled “RMF Is Flying,” Dafoe felt his character in that storyline was the most challenging to embody because “it’s not a substantial role.”
