Fueled by a breathless energy and bravado performances, ANORA is a brilliant movie of beautiful humor and heartbreak.
OSCAR ALREADY HAS HIS EYE ON THIS ONE! Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winner ANORA, an audacious, thrilling and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story, is already being hailed as his masterpiece. Mikey Madison (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire. However, when Vanya's parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York. With nods to Federico Fellini’s 1957 drama NIGHTS OF CABRIA and a sprinkle of PRETTY WOMAN, Baker’s ANORA is a high-energy sprint and daring, innovative work that fearlessly stands on its own.
