Oscars Week: Poor Things 18
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite, The Lobster) and producer Emma Stone, comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe).
Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
Winner of Best Actress (Emma Stone), Best Production Design, Best Makeup and Hairstyling and Best Costume Design at the 2024 Academy Awards.
