COMING SOON

Yorgos Lanthimos, the Greek filmmaker who has an impressive gift of making his absurdist, dark comedies like "Dogtooth", "The Lobster" and "The Favourite" appealing and poignant to a wide audience, will be returning soon with his latest offbeat comedy. "Poor Things", based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, has Emma Stone (reuniting with Lanthimos following her Oscar-nominated performance in "The Favourite") playing a recently deceased 19th century young woman who is resurrected by a scientist (Willem Dafoe). With a strong desire to explore the world, she tales off with an unscrupulous lawyer (Mark Ruffalo) and begins to live life on her terms, demanding equality and liberation. Ramy Youssef, Margaret Qualley, Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Abbott and Kathryn Hunter also star.

"Poor Things" is due in US theaters on September 8, 2023 December 8, 2023
