“I mean, sure, sometimes they can say it with words. I like language,” she did admit, but she also expressed an interest in doing a silent feature when Lanthimos suggested she should.
“I’ll do it… once the strike is over!” was her reply.

BleatAs a Fascinating Experiment in Wordless Storytelling
Bleat, set against the stark beauty of a Greek island, plunges us into the world of a woman in mourning. The film weaves together reality and dreamy imagination, tradition, and insidious desires. What sets Bleat apart is its departure from conventional dialogue-driven storytelling, opting for a silent approach.
The 30-minute silent short film directed by Lanthimos that stars Emma Stone and Damien Bonnard explores themes like loneliness and connection; death, love and desire, and human and animal interaction.
This creative choice enhances the emotional impact of the film, demonstrating that silence does not equate to a lack of auditory stimulation. Instead, the absence of spoken words allows the audience to immerse themselves in the visual and musical elements, creating a unique and memorable cinematic experience.
