Yorgos Lanthimos Needs a Break from Filmmaking

Yorgos Lanthimos, a 5x Oscar nominee, is planning to take a break from filmmaking after the release of his latest movie, Bugonia, on October 31.

Despite intending to take breaks after his previous two films, Poor Things (2023) and Kinds of Kindness (2024), Lanthimos feels the need for some rest and relaxation.

“Well, I can’t keep doing that anymore. [Laughs] That’s what we’re certain of right now... It’s a big mistake. I’ve said that before in between the other three, but I’m serious now. I’m going to take a little break. Hold me to it”

Lanthimos has been rolling out award-worthy films with Emma Stone for the third consecutive year, making this break a well-deserved one.
