Anora

Event information

American writer-director Sean Baker's new film is a screwball tale: frenetic and funny, fiery and profane. Like Pretty Woman but with an edge. Ani works in a strip club where she meets Vanya, the spoiled son of a Russian oligarch. Their transactional relationship quickly develops into marriage. But the trouble starts when a pair of hapless Russian goons arrive with instructions to annul the union. The film then hits its shrill crescendo during a sustained slapstick sequence in Vanya’s luxury pad, where Ani's response has the thugs reeling. It’s a superb and breathless set piece, both savage and hilarious as it rides the outer edges of manageable control.
