Emma Stone Shines in Yorgos Lanthimos' 'Poor Things'
Critically Acclaimed Film Set for Wider Release Following Multiple Award Wins
- Emma Stone stars in Yorgos Lanthimos' new film 'Poor Things', a surreal period comedy-horror that has been well received by critics and audiences alike.
- The film, based on Alasdair Gray’s 1992 novel, follows Bella Baxter (Stone), a young Victorian woman brought back to life by a scientist, as she embarks on a whirlwind adventure across stylized European cities.
- Stone's performance, which charts Bella’s journey from toddler-woman to fully sentient and sexually liberated adult, has been praised as some of the best work of her career.
- 'Poor Things' has won several awards, including the Bronze Frog for cinematographer Robbie Ryan and the Audience Award at CamerImage, as well as the Audience Awards at the Stockholm Film Festival and Adelaide Film Festival.
- The film is set to expand to more markets next week, with an international release planned for January/February.
