Poor Things

The incredible story of Bella Baxter (Emma Stone), a young Victorian woman who is restored to life by Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), a scientist as eccentric as he is brilliant. Under Baxter's protection, Bella feels eager to learn, but also thirsty for experiences she's never had. It is then that she runs away with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a cunning and libertine lawyer, on a turbulent adventure around the world – including a visit to Lisbon and a meeting with the fado singer Carminho. Free from the prejudices of her time, Bella's commitment to ideals of equality and liberation intensifies throughout this odyssey. Widely acclaimed as Yorgos Lanthimos' best film to date, Poor Things is certainly the director's most visually extravagant, imaginative and technically challenging work, and earned him the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival.
