Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos are back with another bizzaro awards contender, “Poor Things.” The duo reunites for the first time since their Oscar-winning collaboration on “The Favourite,” which earned 10 nominations and a leading actress win for co-star Olivia Colman.
Now, the duo is back with a bonkers reinvention of Frankenstein, starring Stone as Bella Baxter, a resurrected young Victorian woman, who returns to life without the hangups of her era and launches into a debauched tour of life and lust with a libertine lawyer (Mark Ruffalo).
The wild film has racked up acclaim and awards season buzz for Lanthimos and his cast since it debuted at the Venice International Film Festival in September, where it took home the Golden Lion.
