‘What would a woman be, if she were able to start from scratch?’ - Emma Stone
Academy Award® Nominee Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite, The Lobster) and producer Emma Stone return with a daring, deranged and deeply funny comedy about a woman’s unusual awakening.
Bella Baxter (Stone) is a young woman who is brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Free from the prejudices of her times, she grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation...
Lanthimos has concocted a hypnotic and singular world that is deliciously surreal - at once easy to watch and impossible to fully settle into, and we love it!
