Dangerous, intriguing erotic Misericordia
Scenario
Anora, a young Brooklyn sex worker, meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. After the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened when his parents leave for New York to have the marriage annulled. Mikey Madison said at the Cannes Film Festival press conference that director Sean Baker and his wife, producer Samantha Kwan, play different sex positions to show the actors what they want to do. Nearby: Anora (2024).
I watched one of the best movies this year
The Athens Festival Night has begun, and we were lucky enough to catch Anora at the opening ceremony. And let me tell you, this movie absolutely kills. From the very first scene, you are glued to the screen and that feeling just won’t let go. As the movie progressed I thought, "Come on, it’s got to slow down at some point, right?
Lead actress Mike Maddison who plays Anora is an absolute revelation
Give us a breather." No, no breaks, no dips, not even a hint of slowdown. Anora has one of the best journeys I have ever experienced in a movie. Brooklyn sex worker and tough girl Anora meets the son of a Russian oligarch and marries him in a whirlwind of frenzy. But her fairy tale soon turns into a nightmare when the news reaches Russia and his parents do everything they can to annul their marriage.
He’s the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long time
She effortlessly combines sexuality, femininity, childlike innocence and toughness in a way that leaves you speechless. Don’t be surprised if you see her go far and get nominated for an Oscar. Personally, I’d give the Best Supporting Actor nomination to Mark Eidelshtein, who plays the Russian Son. Fantastic.Anora is a slap in the face of the traditional fairy tale concept.
It is a modern Cinderella story that is realistic, violent, raw, funny and ultimately sweet
Only in the real world, no prince is going to come and save you – you’ve got to pick up the pieces and hold your head up. .
