It's hard to imagine that there will be a funnier, filthier or more extravagantly peculiar film this year than Yorgos Lanthimos's latest picture, his second feature film collaboration with star Emma Stone.
Like much in Poor Things, the period is impossible to pin down exactly. The story of Bella unfolds in a parallel past, a gothic, steampunk-infused Victoriana, a world that is distorted (literally Lanthimos's enthusiastic use of fisheye lenses warps the contents of the frame) by the patriarchal power disparities in society.
