This Week At The Luna Outdoor (26-31 Dec)

Luna outdoor is ending the year with a fine piece of alternative cinema!  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.

Critics and reviews have been praising the latest offering from Lanthimos:

“Thrillingly unique.” The Daily Beast

“Flamboyant, florid, fantastic, and freakish, this might well be one of the most unique movies you’ll ever see.” Inverse

“Poor Things itself is an equally – and brilliantly – surprising hybrid: a feminist coming-of-age story, monster movie and bawdy, foul-mouthed sex romp that the Greek alchemist has somehow forged into a masterpiece.” Time Out

“No other mainstream director today is making movies this visually bold and brilliantly realised.” Financial Times

“As imaginative as the film’s comedy can be, its greatest asset is Emma Stone’s ability to situate Bella Baster first as jester, then as the emotional foundation upon which the whole of Poor Things is built.” Slant Magazine
