About this event

Yorgos Lanthimos (The Lobster, The Killing of a Sacred Deer) follows up The Favourite with this delirious, darkly comic fantasy - a modern twist on Frankenstein simply overflowing with outrageous characters, lavish art design and surreal flourishes.

Poor Things is an adaptation of the novel by Scottish author Alasdair Gray, about a young woman (Emma Stone) brought back to life by a doctor (Willem Dafoe), who has to relearn how to exist within Victorian society.

Scientist Dr Godwin Baxter spent years attempting wild experiments before his greatest, still secret success: bringing a young woman, Bella, back from the dead. Initially childlike and naive, reanimated Bella is kept locked inside the Baxter house.
