Anora

Published on December 16th, 2024

Thanks to our friends at Kismet we have five in-season double passes to give away to Anora. 

Anora is a dark comedy from acclaimed director Sean Baker, reminiscent of his previous, successful films that blend sharp social commentary with compelling character studies.

Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the film captures the audacious journey of a Brooklyn sex worker thrust into a whirlwind Cinderella story turned darkly comedic nightmare. The plot follows the beleaguered marriage between Anora (Mikey Madison), a young sex worker, and Vanya Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch. The supporting cast includes Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, Vache Tovmasyan, and Aleksei Serebryakov.

With Baker’s signature style, Anora is both a poignant and irreverent exploration of societal contrasts, cultural clashes, and personal resilience. This highly anticipated film is the perfect entertaining flick for upmarket cinephiles, especially, Gen Xers and Millennials.
