Kinds of Kindness Explained: RMF IS FLYING

This is NOT a Kinds of Kindness Trailer

In this second part of our series, we delve deeper into Yorgos Lanthimos' surreal triptych Kinds of Kindness, focusing on the RMF is Flying segment. Through the lens of Jacques Lacan's psychoanalytic theory, we explore themes of trauma, psychosis, and misrecognition, as Daniel spirals into a world where reality blurs with delusion. Why does silence now replace the father figure's voice from the first part? How does Lanthimos use jump cuts to reflect the instability of time and memory? And what role do animals and mutilation play in the characters' subconscious?

Join us as we decode the eerie resurrection of RMF, the symbolic peripheries of human anatomy, and the disturbing transformation of Liz. We'll also explore how Lacan’s concept of the Real helps us understand the characters' descent into a world that distorts infantile desires into animalistic chaos. Don't miss this critical breakdown of Lanthimos' psychological artistry, as we prepare for the final chapter, RMF eats a Sandwich.
