The first teaser for Kinds of Kindness proves that the dynamic duo of Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos clearly isn’t going anywhere.
Stone and Lanthimos have previously collaborated on The Favourite, the short film Bleat, and Poor Things, for which Stone won her second Academy Award. With Kinds of Kindness, the pair team up for a “triptych fable,” featuring stories of a man fighting to take back control of his life, a policeman who’s reunited with his wife under bizarre circumstances, and a woman searching for someone destined to be a spiritual leader.
The teaser doesn’t give us much plot information, but it is packed with wonderfully weird vibes and promises of a stellar cast. On top of Stone (seen here dancing in a parking lot), the film stars Jesse Plemons (Killers of the Flower Moon), Willem Dafoe (Poor Things), Margaret Qualley (Drive Away Dolls), Hong Chau (Showing Up), Joe Alwyn (Conversations With Friends), Mamoudou Athie (Elemental), and Hunter Schafer (Cuckoo).
Kinds of Kindness hits theaters June 21.
