Movie Screening: ‘Anora’, winner of the Palme d’Or, subverts the Cinderella fairytale.


It has been awarded the top prize at this year’s Cannes Film Festival: “Anora” is described as Sean Baker’s most sophisticated film to date by critic Emma Jones. She explains why there is so much to appreciate in this tale of a sex worker and an oligarch’s son, and why lead actress Mikey Madison is being touted for future success. Furthermore, we delve into Clint Eastwood’s legal drama “Juror No. 2”, as the 94-year-old filmmaker reunites Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette for a contemplation on justice and truth. Emma also shares her thoughts on Tom Hardy’s superhero adventure “Venom: The Last Dance”, calling it a lively conclusion to the trilogy under the helm of Kelly Marcel. Lastly, we explore “Flow”, a mesmerizing animated feature that follows a cat and its animal companions through exquisitely crafted landscapes.”
