ANORA
Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winner ANORA is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story. 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.
“In its relatively gigantic ambitions, nuanced texture, bifurcated structure, and ferocious performances, ANORA is also a capstone for the director: a once-in-a-career triumph that exists on the back of everything else.”
FILM DISCUSSION: Please join Professor Peter Mascuch on Friday, December 13 after the 7:30PM show for a film discussion. Peter Mascuch is a professor of English and Film Studies at St. Joseph’s University.
