In Cannes, the Oscar winner can be seen in “Kinds of Kindness”, the shocking new film by Giorgos Lanthimos. She doesn’t want to forget another role.

Hollywood star Emma Stone has a special relationship with one film role in her career. “Bella – that was the only one I couldn’t let go of,” said the 35-year-old on Saturday in Cannes. She was referring to her leading role in “Poor Things” – as Bella Baxter, she has a baby’s brain implanted in her. She won her second Oscar for it in March. “I don’t think I should go back to her. It probably doesn’t make sense, but that’s the only character I was reluctant to let go of,” she said.

For her new film – which is in competition at the Cannes Film Festival – Stone has worked again with Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos. “Kinds of Kindness” is an absurd satire about self-sacrifice – at work, in marriage or in religion. In three episodes, Lanthimos creates bizarre parables about people who are willing to do anything for a particular institution. The film strings together shocking scenes – rape, porn and cut off limbs are among them.

After his success with “Poor Things,” Lanthimos returns to the style of his enigmatic early films (“Dogtooth”) with “Kinds of Kindness.” In addition to Stone, Lanthimos worked again with Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley. Jesse Plemons (“Civil War”) and Hong Chau (“The Whale”) also star.
