Kinds of Kindness (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2024)
Yorgos Lanthimos has announced his next film, AND, starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley (no, this is not a retitle of Poor Things, though the cast is pretty similar!)

Re: Trailers for Upcoming Films
Yorgos Lanthimos' second film in half a year, Kinds of Kindness
I like Lanthimos but I hated Poor Things on-sight and even more as I kept thinking about it, this looks much more up my alley in every way, especially visually and in the amount of Margaret Qualley.

Interesting that it's going for a summer release. I guess they don't smell another Oscar hit since they didn't save it for the fall (unless he has a third one coming up?!)

Has a single-director triptych movie like this ever been an Oscars success? I'm sure Searchlight remembers The French Dispatch getting goose-egged and doesn't want to try and fail like that again.

Off the top of my head, De Sica's Ieri, oggi, domani won Best Foreign Film and is similarly a single-director triptych composition

Not sure if this counts, but Babel?

If Babel counts it seems like we're veering into a sort of hyperlink cinema, opening the door to Crash and the like.

I was thinking specifically movies where one story plays out in its entirety and is followed by another (and then another), so Amores Perros would count but not Babel or Crash or the like.

I felt I understood, but one random example off the top of my head is I'm Not There. Also The Ballad of Buster Scruggs did get nominated for screenplay (and a few others) as I recall. Will return to add more as I can. These might not fit perfectly.

A single-director sextych movie (with multiple writers) once won an Oscar nomination. Rossellini's Paisan.The Narrator Returns wrote: ↑Wed Mar 27, 2024 12:31 pmHas a single-director triptych movie like this ever been an Oscars success?
I am posting this because I never before uttered nor written the word 'sextych' and I guess a part of me somewhere hidden until now always wanted to.

My wife and I will be first in the queue - you'd have to go right back to The Duke of Burgundy a decade ago to find a film that she adored as unreservedly as Poor Things - but I couldn't help but notice the absence of Tony McNamara on the screenwriting front, and he's a major reason why we both liked The Favourite and Poor Things so much. But we shall see.
