Having directed Emma Stone in "The Favourite", Yorgos Lanthimos now directs her in "Poor Things", for which she won an Oscar. This is not an easy movie to describe. Sort of a steampunk version of social commentary, with Stone as a dead woman brought back to life but with an infant's mental capacity.
Undeniably, this will not be for everyone. In addition to depicting material similar to what "Frankenstein" showed, there's nothing light or fluffy to be found anywhere. Almost every scene is something shocking. I guess you could say, this is one movie that's bound to ruffle a few feathers (especially considering some of those animals). I liked it, but there's no guarantee that you will. The rest of the cast includes Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef and Hanna Schygulla. I'll be eager to see Lanthimos's upcoming movie.
