Anora - Criterion Collection Blu-Ray

The foremost chronicler of contemporary cinema's American dreamers and schemers living on the margins of capitalism's promises, reaches new heights of mastery with this bold anti-Cinderella story—a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with a heartbreaking heart. In an electric, star-studded performance, Mikey Madison shines as Anora, an enterprising, fiercely sassy exotic dancer and sex worker from Brooklyn whose Prince Charming arrives in the form of a Russian oligarch's wild son (Mark Eydelshteyn). This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale—which also features outstanding performances from Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan—that turns the cruel reality of class upside down. Anora wins the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, confirming Baker as one of our foremost auteurs.OR
