Synopsis

From the disturbing psychological maze of Dogtooth to the crowd-pleasing fantasies of The Favourite, there is nothing quite like a Yorgos Lanthimos film. Featuring Emma Stone in one of her most revered roles to date, Poor Things has taken the festival arena by storm. After trying to take her own life, Bella Baxter (Emma Stone) is resurrected by an experimental Victorian anatomist. In this comedic, Frankenstein-esque tale, Bella is awakened to a new life of European adventure and sexual discovery, which celebrates self-exploration and freakish delights in all their glory.
