YORGOS LANTHIMOS: POOR THINGS
Starting February 8th, Emma Stone transfixes in Yorgos Lanthimos’s thrilling carnival of oddness. Lanthimos’ sweeping new fairy tale has been nominated for a stunning 11 Academy Awards and is certainly one of the most exhilarating films of the year so far!
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
