On wishing all her films were silent: “I was half-kidding,” Stone said. “But I do love the silence. It’s a nice thing to not have any pressure to use words to communicate. There’s something wonderful in being able to speak with just your eyes and your body.”

On dodging cars during the shoot: “Have you seen the things I’ve done in films?” Stone joked later. “In comparison, running across a highway is not scary.”

On Yorgos Lanthimos teaching her photography: “A few years ago, Yorgos became interested in film photography. He began developing his own prints, and he taught me. We started in a makeshift darkroom in his bathroom, but over the past few years, he’s built a professional darkroom in his studio in Athens. He pretty much learned how to develop film by watching YouTube videos.”

On her creative partnership with Yorgos: “We reviewed the contact sheets together,” Stone recalled. “We tend to agree on which photos we like and dislike. In general, we agree on most everything.” Lanthimos interrupted: “We sometimes disagree about small details. That’s our pattern.” Stone continued: “But we don’t fight. We have a way of working things out. And we learn from each other. Or, at least, I learn from Yorgos.”

W Magazine Volume 6, The Art Issue is on stands December 5, 2023.
