At the Cannes Film Festival press conference, Mikey Madison said that director Sean Baker will demonstrate various sexual positions with his wife, producer Samantha Quan, to show the actors what he wanted from them. featured: Anora (2024).
And let me tell you, this movie absolutely kills
I just saw one of the best films of the year. The festival nights in Athens have begun and we were lucky enough to meet Anora at the opening ceremony. From the first scene you are glued to the screen and the feeling never leaves you. As the movie went on, I kept thinking, “Come on, this is going to have to slow down eventually, right?
The lead actress, Mikey Madison, who plays Anora, is an absolute revelation
Give us a breather.” No, no pause, no dip, not even a hint of slowing down. Anora has one of the best pacings I’ve ever seen in a movie. Anora, a prostitute and tough girl from Brooklyn, meets the son of a Russian oligarch and marries him in a whirlwind of madness. But when the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale quickly turns into a nightmare, and his parents do everything they can to annul their marriage.
It’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time
She effortlessly combines sensuality, femininity, childlike innocence and tenacity in a way that will leave you speechless. She will go very, very far and don’t be surprised to see her nominated for an Oscar. I would also personally give a nomination for Best Supporting Actor to Mark Eidelshtein, who plays the Russian son. Fantastic.Anora is a slap in the face to the traditional concept of a fairy tale.
