Classic Movies Live – Season 4, Episode 47: Poor Things
December 20, 2023
This week on Classic Movies Live!, Pierre and Jeff discuss the first Yorgos Lanthimos movie on this show!
Poor Things stars Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a sheltered young woman who runs away from home to learn everything she can about the world. That description is technically correct, but the latest outing from the director of The Favourite is not only so much more than that, but such a strange, unique story it’s impossible to summarize into a single sentence.
Based on a novel by Alisdair Gray, Poor Things is one of the most visually arresting and thematically bold wide-release films of the year, and it’s certain to make a big splash when it hits theatres all over the continent this Friday!
And once you’ve seen it, our hosts will be right here to provide their thoughts on Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and friend of the show Christopher Abbott!
