Description

About the Book

i shall sing these songs beautifully is the first photobook by Greek filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos, expanding his distinctive cinematic vision into still photography. Created on the set of his 2024 feature Kinds of Kindness in New Orleans, these analogue photographs reveal an ambiguous world where the physical and the unreal merge.

Lanthimos’ use of both colour and black-and-white film captures fleeting moments of ritual, intimacy, and estrangement, evoking the fragmented lyricism of Sappho – whose poetry inspires the book’s title. Through the sequence of 112 pages, images and texts weave together a self-contained visual story, rich with the atmosphere and tension characteristic of Lanthimos’ cinema.
Published by MACK Books, this embossed hardcover edition extends the director’s exploration of constructed worlds, human relations, and cinematic imagination.
