It is, by now, a well-known fact that Yorgos Lanthimos\u2019 films are not for the faint of heart. Delighting in the strange and absurd, he first made a name for himself with Dogtooth (2009): a film in which a domineering father imprisons his three adult children in a fenced compound, cut off from the outside. If Poor Things (2023) was a Victorian sadomodernist twist on the \u2018Born Sexy Yesterday\u2019 trope, his latest, Kinds of Kindness (2024), offers up a spectacle of cruelty \u2013 featuring, among other kinds of evil, brainwashing sex cults, murder, rape, domestic violence, and cannibalism. In Lanthimos\u2019 worlds, humanity is stripped of moral pretension; his characters obey inscrutable logics.<\/p>\n

Given the content of these films, it might then seem an odd choice to describe the behind-the-scenes stills from these productions as beautiful. But two books, “Dear God, the Parthenon is still broken” (2024) \u2013 shot during the filming of Poor Things \u2013 and “I shall sing these songs beautifully” (2024) \u2013 made alongside Kinds of Kindness \u2013 prove otherwise. Now, an exhibition at Webber Gallery in Los Angeles collates images from both books in the first public presentations of Lanthimos\u2019 photography.<\/p>\n

Yorgos Lanthimos: Photographs is on from 29 March until 24 May 2025 at Webber Gallery, Los Angeles.<\/p>\n
