It’s four months since the cast and crew of Poor Things rounded off a busy awards season that included a second Oscar nomination for cinematographer Robbie Ryan. With the tuxedoes barely tucked away, the Poor Things team have another film, Kinds of Kindness, in cinemas already.
Dublin-born Ryan believes his latest creation with director Yorgos Lanthimos and Irish production company Element Pictures snuck under the radar during production. "We filmed Poor Things in 2021. It had such a long VFX [visual effects] post-production schedule that we could simultaneously shoot Kinds of Kindness without people realising," says the graduate of Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology.
