Yorgos Lanthimos‘ “Kinds of Kindness” is split into three distinct but loosely connected stories. Who is the common denominator? A nonverbal character known only as RMF (Yorgos Stefanakos).
“It felt like a subtle way to connect the three stories other than the fact that the same actors play a different character in each story,” Lanthimos told PvNew at the “Kinds of Kindness” premiere in New York City on Thursday night. “We didn’t want to have a main character reappearing, but a character that had a short time in the film. But at the same time, his presence was pivotal.”
The Greek filmmaker noted that RMF doesn’t represent anything in particular: “You can apply any kind of explanation that you want or your own thoughts.”
