Description

Poor Things is a 2023 black comedy fantasy film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos and based on the 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray. The film follows Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by an eccentric scientist who implants the brain of her own unborn child into her body. Starring Emma Stone in an Academy Award-winning performance, the film is a wildly imaginative and darkly comedic journey of self-discovery.

Set in a surreal, anachronistic vision of Victorian-era Europe, Bella escapes her sheltered life under the care of her creator, Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe), and embarks on an adventure across the world with the roguish lawyer Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo). Along the way she encounters men who seek to control her and discovers the injustices woven into the fabric of society, refusing to be constrained by the era's expectations.

Poor Things swept awards season, winning four Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Actress for Emma Stone. The film is a daring, visually spectacular work that challenges conventions of gender, bodily autonomy, and personal freedom through Lanthimos's trademark blend of absurdist humor and pointed social commentary. It stands as one of the most inventive and celebrated films of the 2020s.
