Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos returns with his ninth feature, "Kinds of Kindness," a quirky and slightly disturbing triptych set in modern New Orleans. Collaborating for the third time with Emma Stone, Lanthimos ditches the period trappings of "The Favourite" and the steampunk aesthetics of "Poor Things" for a more stripped-down approach.

In a reimagined Victorian Glasgow, Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) conducts a daring experiment, implanting a baby's brain into a corpse, resulting in Bella (Emma Stone). Bella navigates affection from Max McCandles (Ramy Youssef) and Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo).

During a global pandemic (sound familiar?) that sparks sudden amnesia . . . Aris (Aris Servetalis) is enrolled in a recovery programme designed to give blank people new identities. He is given a Polaroid camera and tasked with creating & documenting fresh memories, a project that becomes complicated when he meets a fellow patient called Anna (Sofia Georgovassili).
