Hilarious, incisive and full of visual splendor, Poor Things may not be for everyone, but it might Lanthimos' high water mark. Read more at: https://scottsself-indulgentmovieblog.blogspot.com/
Was wenn Frankensteins Monster eine Frau wäre? Das ist die Ausgangsfrage von Poor Things. In einer Steampunk Version des viktorianischen London stößt die unbändige Bella Baxter auf patriarchale Strukturen und frauenfeindliche Sexualmoral. Was für ihre Mitmenschen ganz natürlich erscheint, offenbart sich unter ihrem Blick als soziale Konstruktion - als fragwürdiger Ausdruck partikulärer Ängste und Interessen. Besonders der Männer in ihrem Leben, die sie zu kontrollieren suchen. Man könnte es auch anders haben, denkt sie. Und macht es anders. Doch ist die Geschichte hiermit nicht zu Ende, und Poor Things kein bloßer Lobgesang auf weibliche Eigenständigkeit. Es gibt zu viele Fragezeichen die eine zu eindeutig moralistische Interpretation verhindern. Bella Baxter ist ein Kind, verpflanzt in den Körper einer erwachsenen Frau. Und die Geschichte ihrer sexuellen Befreiung damit mindestens doppeldeutig. Viel verkomplizierendes drängt sich auf in dieser scheinbar einfachen Parabel. Wir sprechen drüber, bei FilMic.
What animal would you get turned into? Joe & Adam ponder The Lobster, Yorgos Lanthimos' 2015 dry as a bone awkward sci-fi comedy starring Colin Farrell and Rachel Weisz. Is the film all logic brain and no beating heart? There is much discussion of Lanthimos' tone, and a great divide over whether Poor Things is good or not. Also: what is the narrative of Farrell's career, what sound does a lobster make, and what animal is best to get turned into. As well, of course, there's the usual business of the Box Office Game, and the Forgot You Forgot Picking the Next Film Game. Email us with your film suggestions at moviesyouforgotyouforgot@gmail.com.

Opět s Emmou Stone, ale také s krutějším náhledem na život. Po úspěšné satiře Chudáčci se řecký režisér Yorgos Lanthimos vrátil ke spolupráci se scenáristou svých raných děl. „On má až obsesi těmi životy, které ovládá někdo jiný – okolnosti, lidé, nějaká sekta nebo třeba velmi podivná rodina,“ naznačuje filmový kritik Pavel Sladký. Nápaditý povídkový snímek Milé laskavosti podle něj ovšem nedosahuje kvalit vrcholů tzv. řecké divné vlny, jakými byly filmy Špičák nebo Alpy.
Send us a textHow do you make sense of the bizarre yet captivating world of Yorgos Lanthimos? That's what my brother Mike and I aimed to uncover in our latest Oh Brother Podcast episode. We kicked things off by wrestling with the perplexing narrative and stylistic choices in "Kinds of Kindness." While I couldn't get past the dissonant music and stilted dialogue, Mike helped me see the method in the madness by connecting it to Lanthimos's other works like "Poor Things" and "The Lobster." We also chatted about the stellar performances from Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, and how they navigate the unsettling territory typical of Lanthimos's films.From there, our conversation veered into the realm of shocking and artistic filmmaking, especially within a trilogy of films that left us both disturbed and intrigued. Themes of control, dependence, and sexual perversion took center stage, with unforgettable performances by Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, and Emma Stone. We couldn't help but compare these avant-garde movies to classics like "Eyes Wide Shut" and "Sex, Lies, and Videotape," ultimately finding a new appreciation for Lanthimos's nuanced storytelling, even if the explicit content continued to spark debate between us.To lighten the mood, we reminisced about a hilarious Saturday Night Live skit featuring Sean Hayes, Jimmy Fallon, and Will Ferrell. This set us off on a tangent about the role of absurdity and realism in film. We marveled at how dark material can unexpectedly be punctuated with humor, thanks to performances by actors like Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone. Wrapping up the episode, we gave a heartfelt shout-out to our loyal supporters, especially our friends from the Rexer Show. We raised our "Oh Brother" mugs in gratitude and shared our excitement for future episodes. Join us for an engaging discussion filled with film analysis, humor, and a dash of absurdity!Actress Karissa Lee Staples Support the showOh Brother Podcast: Subscribe on YouTube Listen on all podcast platforms Follow us on Instagram Leave a 5-star rating/review on Apple Podcasts
This week, we're venturing into the strange and intriguing world of Kinds of Kindness! From the delightfully unconventional mind of Yorgos Lanthimos, this latest film features a stellar cast, including Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, and Hong Chau. In this unique story, we find ourselves in a society where acts of kindness come with unexpected and often unsettling consequences. Lanthimos, known for his offbeat and thought-provoking narratives, crafts a tale that blends dark humor with a sharp critique of societal norms. As the characters navigate their increasingly bizarre and morally complex world, the true nature of kindness—and its hidden costs—comes to light. Join us as we unravel the layers of this unconventional film and explore Lanthimos's signature blend of absurdity and insight. Does Kinds of Kindness manage to captivate with its unique vision, or does it get lost in its own eccentricity? And amid the darkly comedic twists and profound observations, we ask… But Is Kinds of Kindness Good?If you'd like to suggest a film or film franchise, or if you'd just like to say hello, you can reach us at biigpodcast@gmail.com, @biigpodcast on Twitter, or @butisitgoodpodcast on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube!

Kelsi and Trey explore the cotton-candy colored world of 'Poor Things' starring the singular Emma Stone. We discuss the divisive discourse about the film's many commentaries, such as its choices on Bella's age, the sexual and class politics, the landscape of fragile men, as well as the film's commercially smart exploitation of leftist iconography, as a movie that is primarily interested in the power of constructs. And, oh yeah, we talk about the filmographies of Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Emma Stone, and some other stuff about Lanthimos needing to make a Magic Tree House franchise...a lot to discuss!

Nach dem Oscarrenner „Poor Things“ spielt im neuen Film von Yorgos Lanthimos wieder Emma Stone die Hauptrolle. Auch sonst ist dem Griechen nicht viel Neues eingefallen, findet Filmkritiker Rüdiger Suchsland.
On episode 238 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade is joined by AwardsWatch contributor Josh Parham to review the latest film releases, Kinds of Kindness and Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, as well as discuss their Top 5 Westerns. While A Quiet Place: Day One was dominating the box office this past weekend, two other releases caught the attention of the AW team, Kinds of Kindness and Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, both of which premiered at the Cannes Film Festival earlier this year. For Kinds of Kindness, we find acclaimed director Yorgos Lanthimos returning to the big screen with his follow up to Poor Things with a nearly three-hour anthology film with an all-star cast lead by Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Hong Chau, Margaret Qualley, and more that focuses on three separate stories that center around the idea of control. In the case of Horizon: An American Saga – Chapter 1, we see the big screen return, and gamble, of director Kevin Costner, with a three hour sweeping epic set in the old west that takes place over five different storylines. Ryan and Josh (who saw both films at Cannes) break down their reactions to both films, the pros and cons of both, and whether they think they will dive into the remaining chapters of Horizon and what they hope to see in Lanthimos' next film coming out next fall. In the back half of the episode, the duo dive into a Top 5 based on the western genre, inspired by the release of Horizon. One of the oldest genres in the history of cinema, the western is one that speaks to the roots and fabric of America, while also being one to speak brilliantly of how our current world can be reflected so bold, brash, and violent as our past. This makes for the perfect conversation to talk about some of the best films in not just the genre, but some of greatest films of all time. Mentioned in this discussion were films like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, Unforgiven, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, Once Upon a Time in the West, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, and so many more. You can listen to The AwardsWatch Podcast wherever you stream podcasts, from iTunes, iHeartRadio, Soundcloud, Stitcher, Spotify, Audible, Amazon Music and more. This podcast runs 2h18m. We will be back next week to talk about latest film from A24, MaXXXine, and discuss their Top 5 films set in Los Angeles. Till then, let's get into it. Music: “Modern Fashion” from AShamaleuvmusic (intro), “B-3” from BoxCat Games Nameless: The Hackers RPG Soundtrack (outro).
El cine de Yorgos Lanthimos tiene muchos admiradores y también detractores. Está su etapa más radical en su país, luego su salto a Hollywood con 'Pobres criaturas' y 'La favorita', y ahora vuelve a colaborar con Emma Stone en 'Kinds of Kindness', una propuesta bizarra sobre la sumisión y el control. Analizamos a fondo este estreno y también 'Horizon', la primera parte de la saga del western de Kevin Costner, uno de sus proyectos más personales. También tenemos el terror silencioso de la tercera película de 'Un lugar tranquilo', una comedia española que recomendamos, 'Casa en flames', y algunas series para un maratón de fin de semana.
This week, we talk about the very disturbing new film ‘Kinds of Kindness'. It is directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, known for surreal movies such as ‘Poor Things', ‘The Favourite', and ‘The Lobster'. This film marks a return to dark, inaccessible weirdness for the Greek New Wave director. Is it grotesque in a bad or a good way? And do we like the ‘Lanthimos vibe'?

In a surprise announcement following the success of his film “Poor Things,” which received 11 nominations at this year's Academy Awards and was awarded 4, director Yorgos Lanthimos took no time to announce his new film “Kind of Kindness.” The film is an anthology, telling 3 distinct stories about love, through the dry and dark humor that many have associated with Lanthimos's screenplays. So what compelled Lanthimos to partner back up with his longtime screenwriting collaborator, Efthimis Filippou, for this new project? Joining us to discuss his latest film is Yorgos Lanthimos, director and co-screenwriter of “Kind of Kindness.” “Kinds of Kindness” is out now in select Los Angeles and New York theaters; the film is out in Wide Release in June 28.

Episode 37 - Spoiler Review: Poor Things (2023) ⚠️ Warning: As said in this episode, "It's not a family-friendly movie. It's not going to be a family-friendly podcast episode." Listener/Viewer Discretion Advised: This episode contains explicit discussions about adult themes and strong language as we delve into the movie 'Poor Things.' Every year, I go into my Oscar predictions with shaky confidence at best. However, for the 96th Academy Awards for movies from 2023, there was one award for which I had absolute confidence: Best Actress. As soon as I finished watching "Poor Things," there was no doubt in my mind that Stone's performance would not be topped. Stone created a once-in-a-career experience with her portrayal of Bella Baxter in this movie. On today's episode, I'm joined by my cousin Roya Tavakolian. We had a lot to talk about with this one-of-a-kind movie. From Emma Stone living out what can certainly be imagined as any actor's dream role, to Yorgos Lanthimos navigating us through his world that we see through the eyes of the main character, Bella Baxter. We laugh and joke about parts of this movie, like how Mark Ruffalo is great in his villain (kind of a villain? Not really a villain?) role, and how the movie brilliantly tackles so many themes and ideas in ways that are sometimes subtle and at other times very much in your face. "Poor Things" is yet another reason why I need to remind myself not to start my "top 10 favorite movies of the year" list too early. It is a standout 2023 movie. It is streaming now on Hulu in the US and is also available for rent and purchase. I can't wait to see more from Lanthimos and Stone soon. Enjoy the movie! This is a public episode.

This week, the great Andrew Jagielski joins us for the second and (sadly) final collaboration between Colin Farrell and Yorgos Lanthimos. That's right, it's 2017's postmodern Greek tragedy The Killing of a Sacred Deer, in which Colin plays a hypocritical surgeon whose family is placed under a curse by a teenage boy he once wronged. We delve into how this film works as an expression of Lanthimos' style and as a star vehicle for Colin, and sort through our feelings on the uglier side of Lanthimos' obtuse worldview on the edge of a populist reinvention. Along the way we touch on the birth of movie star Barry Keoghan, A24's off kilter 2017 and the development of their house brand, and Colin and Nicole Kidman's big Cannes film festival and the tumultuous events that occurred on the Croisette (with a little tease for next week). Plus, somehow, we get into a knock down drag out fight about Taylor Swift, the most Lanthimosian of pop stars. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Jace & Colin discuss another favorite filmmaker of theirs: Yorgos Lanthimos. Lanthimos is known for his bizarre, quirky movies and we are here to explain why we love them so much!
EPISODE #413-- We get into the grittier end of the 1990's with the neo-noir classic from Bill Duke DEEP COVER (1992).

We also talk about Wim Wenders' PERFECT DAYS (2023), Villenueve's DUNE PART II (2024), PAST LIVES (2023), Kurosawa's SANSHIRO SUGATA (1943), Lanthimos' POOR THINGS (2032), and Honda's RODAN (1956), and (deep breath, we're almost there), we talk about TV's SHOGUN (2024) and the finale of MASTERS OF THE AIR (2024).

Director Yorgos Lanthimos and 2-time Oscar-winning actress Emma Stone bring out the most eccentric in each other in these two films. With Academy Award nods for Best Picture (as producer) and Best Director for both, Lanthimos is a creative force that defies description. And with Oscar nods (and one win) for both films, Emma Stone is willing to play it to the hilt no matter what it takes. Behind-the-scenes fun facts, poll results, interactive trivia, and listener shout-outs!
Kim Masters and Matt Belloni examine the latest developments in the Disney proxy fight. They also take a look at a peculiar lawsuit filed against CBS Studios and Paramount. Plus, Masters speaks to writer Tony McNamara about his Academy Award-nominated screenplay for the Yorgos Lanthimos film, Poor Things. He talks about how he and Lanthimos managed to take a book about Scottish nationalism and turn it into their film, which is nominated for 11 Academy Awards this weekend. He also shares why he likes splitting his time between film and TV, and why the voices he hears in his head dictate how he writes a screenplay.

This week, the great Genevieve Jacobson joins us, after months in Colin's flop era, to talk about a good movie. That's right, we've finally arrived at The Lobster, Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos' Cannes winning and Oscar nominated English language debut. The film stars Colin as a man in a surreal future forced to find a partner or be turned into the titular crustacean, and we find a lot to dig into regarding the film's philosophical underpinnings, aesthetic oddities, and morbid sense of humor. Along the way we touch on the beginnings of Colin's comeback, the odd circumstances that led to his getting the role, the film's messy and delayed release, our broader feelings on Lanthimos' body of work, and, most importantly, what animal we'd each choose to become. The answers are very revealing. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we watch a film that is heaven for film geeks. Images pour off the screen like melting candy for the brain. The score is a soundtrack to a dizzying dream. The humor is at once bizarre and dark, yet accessible and upbeat. The actors utilize an amazing script to make something profound and hilarious. It is life affirming, blazingly satirical, completely absurd, and an absolute instant classic. Poor Things (2023), directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
Our lead-up to The Best Films of 2023 episode continues as we cover Yorgos' Lanthimos' ribald, fisheye fantasy: Poor Things. Is it the Greek filmmaker's most accessible film? We talk Emma Stone, fearless performances, and the sweetly demented world constructed for this raunchy coming-of-age fable.

Poor Things is a brilliantly imaginative, comedic and visually stunning film about Bella Baxter, a young woman who is brought back to life by mad scientist Godwin Baxter. She experiences a personal and sexual awakening as she travels the world, discovering what it means to be a confident woman free of societal constraints. Director Yorgos Lanthimos and cinematographer Robbie Ryan had previously worked together on The Favourite. They wanted to push the boundaries of how Poor Things looked in every possible way. “He's so prolific with ideas that you go, 'Okay, you want to try that? Okay, let's try that!' And, he gives me a lot of challenges that I go off and find a lens that he's trying to talk about,” says Robbie. Robbie shot Poor Things in a variety of different formats and with a range of unusual lenses. The film is a period piece, so he and Lanthimos decided to use the 1:6:6 aspect ratio, which is closer in composition to portraiture. They also chose to shoot entirely on film, using KODAK 35mm black and white, color negative and Ektachrome Reversal film stocks. For Bella's reanimation sequence, Robbie used a Vista Vision camera, which is a special widescreen format from the 1950's. The 35mm film stock is turned on its side, so that the picture is ultra-widescreen and high resolution. The film is energized with purposefully intrusive cinematography, lenses and zooms. Robbie selected a Petzval lens once used on old projectors. He also placed a 4mm lens, made for 16mm cameras, onto a 35mm camera, to create an extreme fish-eye, vignetted frame. “Yorgos wanted even wider fish eye lenses that created a vignette, with a dreamy focus bokeh on it. We wanted another era feeling to it, with a painterly quality to it, and to have a lot of character. You're jumping between so many different lens choices that would, they would definitely jar, but that's what the attempt is- to jar the audience.” On set, Lanthimos prefers to be able to use all 360 degrees of the entire space. He also didn't want any lights on the set, so it had to be completely built and lit with every direction shootable. It was more freeing for the actors and for the camera, but it did present a challenge for shooting on film, which needs a lot more light to make images. Robbie had to use many practical lights throughout the set, with sky lighting in the ceiling, especially for the outdoor scenes. Robbie is very proud of Poor Things, and he thinks it's funny and more accessible than some of Lanthimos' other work. “The universe that Yorgos has created is the one you want to enjoy and get into with this film,” he says.
