Greek weird-wave filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (“The Favorite”) has been working on a fast clip these days. The Oscar-winning “Poor Things” came out just last fall, and his latest film, the dark comedy “Kinds Of Kindness,” which reteams him with his Best Actress-winning “Poor Things” actress Emma Stone, premiered about six months later at the Cannes Film Festival and then was released this summer in late June.

Critically acclaimed as another wonderfully strange and compelling Lanthimos film (read our review), Searchlight Pictures has now made “Kinds of Kindness” available to buy at all digital retailers. It’s also available on Hulu today, and the film arrives on Blu-ray and DVD on October 8.
The digital release features two deleted scenes and a long featurette titled “It Takes All Kinds: The Vision of Kinds of Kindness,” which features the cast and crew for a behind-the-scenes look at how the sets, costumes, cinematography, and music amplify the film’s themes. You can also discover—maybe—what RMF stands for.
Written by Lanthimos and Efthimis Filippou (“Dogtooth”), the film stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer.
Here’s the official synopsis:
Kinds of Kindness is a triptych fable following a man without choice who tries to take control of his own life, a policeman who is alarmed that his wife who was missing-at-sea has returned and seems a different person, and a woman determined to find a specific someone with a special ability who is destined to become a prodigious spiritual leader.
With “Kinds Of Kindness” available digitally, we have an exclusive clip from the featurette. It includes Lanthimos, Stone, and costume designer Jennifer Johnson explaining how instrumental costumes are to the film and how they help inform and differentiate the many characters in it.
