Triumph in Venice for Yorgros Lanthimos: He won the Golden Lion for “Poor Things”

Emma Stone stars as a sex-mad reanimated corpse

Newsroom September 9 09:47

The Golden Lion in Venice was awarded Saturday to a hilarious reworking of Frankenstein, “Poor Things”, by director Yorgos Lanthimos, starring Emma Stone as a sex-mad reanimated corpse.

“Poor Things” was labelled an “instant classic” by critics at the festival and looks set to repeat the success Lanthimos had with his last film, “The Favourite”.
