Yorgos Lanthimos’ Latest Masterpiece “Poor Things” Is One Of The Most Discussed Titles Of 2023

Some people call it "the best movie of the year" - "Poor Things" will be one of the main contenders for this year's Oscar Awards. Based on Alasdair Gray's novel of the same name, the film offers a modern perspective on the story of Frankenstein. It starts Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Rami Malek, Christopher Abbott, and Jerrod Carmichael - all delivering brilliant performances, but the most stunning, of course, is Emma Stone in the lead role as Bella Baxter.

The film follows the story of a young woman who is brought back to life, but with the brain of an unborn child, by the unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Her curiosity and the desire to learn more about the high-society life, prompt her to run away with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a sly and corrupt lawyer, and both of them embark on their transcontinental adventure. Freed from the prejudices of her time, Bella becomes a symbol of equality and freedom.
