Yorgos Lanthimos has once again teamed up with Emma Stone to deliver another cinematic masterpiece in 'Kinds of Kindness.' As one of the most-watched films of the year, this movie is filled with fascinating details that you might have missed. We've uncovered some of the most intriguing hidden gems in the film just for you—prepare to be surprised!

This is director Yorgos Lanthimos' longest film to date, with a runtime of 164 minutes.

It is Emma Stone's fourth collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos, following The Favourite (2018), Bleat (2022), and Poor Things (2023).

The film made its world premiere at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, where Jesse Plemons won the Best Actor award.

In a recent interview with Cinépolis, Yorgos mentioned that the film was inspired by Caligula and pieces of control imposed on us (humans), on trust, life, and death.

Yorgos Lanthimos shot this film in New Orleans during the post-production of Poor Things (2023).

Throughout the three segments, Jesse Plemons' hair gets shorter after each section.

Except for actress Hong Chau, most of the main cast perform in explicit and semi-nude sex scenes.

Yorgos Lanthimos did not want wigs that looked fake in the film, so the actors had to work with their real hair. However, Emma Stone's hair posed a problem because the actress had just come from another shoot with severely damaged hair. As a result, her hair had to be cut and dyed blonde to restore it.

For the roles of Raymond, George, and Omi (played by Willem Dafoe), actors like George Clooney, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert Downey Jr., Brendan Gleeson, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Jeremy Renner, and Mark Ruffalo were considered.

Emma Stone does not appear on screen until the 33rd minute of the film, and she has no lines until the 38th minute.
