The Emma Stone/Yorgos Lanthimos version of Frankenstein, winner of the Golden Lion, is well placed for the Oscars.

Awarded the Golden Lion at the 80th edition of the Venice Film Festival, Poor Creatures of Yorgos Lanthimos also beat well David Fincher For The Killer that Ferrari of Michael Mann, just that ! Already awarded at Cannes for Tea Lobster And Killing of the sacred deerthe Greek director aims with Poor Creatures to create a visual universe as singular as possible: in two words, it is a feminist rereading of Frankenstein a with Emma Stone in the body of this “poor creature”.

Bella Baxter is the result of an experiment by Dr. Godwin Baxter (William Dafoe): she emancipates herself by going to explore the world accompanied by the executioner of hearts (and incidentally lawyer) Duncan Wedderburn played by Mark Ruffalo. It is on his arm that she embarks on a dizzying adventure. Totally foreign to any form of manners or decorum – since she has everything to learn – will Bella manage to become human? Or to stay that way?

In addition to the Golden Lion, Poor Creatures is one of the 20 films in the running for the Oscar for best visual effects, according to Variety.

Poor Creatures will be released on January 17, 2024 in French cinemas.
