“There are times you get stuck or have felt that you get things right or you get things wrong,” he said.
“Particularly with Yorgos, he’s a director who feels like you’re going to go and play. Thinking about acting, and why I liked it in the first place, was just because you got to much around and play and sometimes that feeling disappears or is hard to hold onto, and nerves or anxiety or the whole industry dampens that sometimes. But [with] Yorgos, you just feel like you’re getting into a sandpit. It’s just fun. And Claire [Denis] has … that feeling of freedom and that you’re going on an adventure and off-grid.”
Kinds of Kindness was filmed in New Orleans in 2022.

NOT SO POOR THING
Kinds of Kindness is expected to be in the same vein as Poor Things.
The film won Emma a Bafta back in February.
She beat Margot Robbie in the Best Leading Actress category and suffered a majorly awkward blunder.
When her name was announced, the actress rose from her seat and bumped the cameraman trying to capture her reaction.
Emma took the stage at the Bafta’s to give an acceptance speech.
“This is really a huge honor and since we’re in London, I’m going to start by thanking our dialect coach.”
“I really just wanna thank my mom, because she is the best person I know in the whole world,” she continued.
“She always inspires me every single day and has always made me believe this kind of crazy idea that I could do something like this.”
