Their first two collaborations (Lovely and Poor Creatures) made it to Venice to varying degrees of Oscar wins. But at the Cannes competition, they published a third: Kinds of Kindness, an anthology consisting of three segments.
The department, which the Greek director knows well, presented two opus there and won so many awards (for the jury film “The Lobster”, the screenplay for “The Killing of a Sacred Deer”).
While waiting to find out if she’ll be shooting it three times, with this feature film scheduled to hit our theaters on June 26, Emma Stone spoke at a press conference about working with Yorgos Lanthimos.

“She’s my muse.”– he would say later with a laugh, discussing their working relationship. “I met him about ten years ago to talk about Favourite. It was a few years before the film was made and I had only seen it. a dog and Lobster in his filmography.”
“I was immediately struck by his warmth. He’s easy to talk to. It’s very different from his films (laughs), which are much more intense than him as a person. We really enjoyed working together on La Favorite.”
Who would have thought that we would have similar tastes?
“I really like his movies, their stories, his slightly weird world, his characters, his way of filming. I like everything. Who would have thought that we would have similar tastes?”
“We haven’t intellectualized what’s going on. Her focus is mostly on physicality, and she loves to dance, obviously. When we were doing Poor Creatures, we were really talking about Bella’s walk and movement. My relationship with the body and movement. In her films, there’s an internalization of that physicality, that It’s a show, not a story.
