Dangerous, intriguing erotic Misericordia
Synopsis
Anora, a young Brooklyn sex worker, meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch. After news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened when his parents travel to New York to have the marriage annulled.
Mikey Madison said at a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival 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). Watching this film at the Cannes Film Festival was such a unique experience that I completely lost track of what I usually pay attention to – the direction, the screenplay, the editing, the acting, etc.
I am incredibly grateful for this privilege
That’s when you know a movie is truly special! Sean Baker takes us on another anti-stereotype journey that will make you forget about everything else going on in your life.
The 10 minute standing ovation was more than appropriate – it was electric!
Watching this masterpiece in Cannes, at the Grand Théâtre Lumiere, a few rows away from the team. See the full lineup for this fall’s 62nd New York Film Festival.
