Poor Things – the 2023 Oscar-nominated film – at the Guild Cinema Friday-Monday, February 2-5 – 7:45 pm only!
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos – 2023 – 141m.
From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Mark Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation. Nominated for a Best Picture Academy Award!
“An ecstatically subversive fantasy that imagines how an adult woman might relate to the world if she had somehow sidestepped years of social indoctrination.” – Paul Kanieski, KSQD Community Radio
“A strange but brilliant fairy tale, Poor Things is a film that will provoke strong reactions. A definite contender for the big awards of Oscar season, this quirky classic won’t be for everyone. Then again, the best films usually aren’t. ” – Victoria Luxford, City AM
The Guild Cinema is located at 3405 Central Ave NE in the Nob Hill area.
