Tamera Jones is a writer and editor for Collider who specializes in big blockbusters, horror movies, popular IP franchises, action, and tons more.
The Big Picture With Kinds of Kindness now playing in select theaters and expanding this weekend, Collider’s Steve Weintraub had the opportunity to chat with filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and Joe Alwyn, who previously worked with the director on 2018’s The Favourite opposite his Kindness costar, Emma Stone.
LANTHIMOS: This is all rigged. New digital copies, great sound, all supervised by the author. Sorry, go on. Well, you do a great job. Yorgos, what do you think would surprise fans of Joe to learn about the way he likes to work on set, and Joe, what do you think would surprise Yorgos fans to learn about the way he works on set?
Then, more practically, it’s also the actors learning the text and getting into the text in a kind of indirect way instead of, again, making it too cerebral and analyzing how certain things need to be said or what the character’s thinking. While doing other silly things and playing games and dancing and hopping around, just trying to remember the lines, say the lines so that they get into them in an unconscious way so that they have them.
ALWYN: I think I’m okay with letting it go. I guess it depends on the duration you’ve been doing it for. If it’s in your body for months and months, even if you don’t know it’s still there, there may be little bits and pieces still there. But no, it’s never been wailing in my room months later, unable to shake off something.
