We are delighted to present these special screenings of Poor Things on 35mm film.

Yorgos Lanthimos, acclaimed absurdist director (The Lobster, The Favourite) presents his latest feat: an absurdist black comedy. 

Poor Things is an adaptation of the novel by Scottish author Alasdair Gray, about a young woman (Emma Stone) brought back to life by a doctor (Willem Dafoe), who has to relearn how to exist within Victorian society.

A stunning film starring Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott, and Jerrod Carmichael.
