Poor Things
The new film by Yorgos Lanthimos
Comedy Drama Romance
An account of the fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter.
Dr Godwin Baxter spent years attempting wild experiments before his greatest, still secret success: bringing a young woman back from the dead. Initially childlike and naïve, reanimated Bella is kept locked inside the Baxter house. However, an encounter with sleazy lawyer Duncan Wedderburn leads Bella to flee the Baxter house to see the world. She embarks on an intoxicating odyssey of discovery and liberation.
A delirious, darkly comic fantasy - a film simply overflowing with outrageous characters, lavish art design and surreal flourishes. The heart of the film is a career-best performance from Emma Stone, who gloriously brings the endearingly odd heroine to life.
