Narrative

Anora, a young sex worker from Brooklyn, meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch

As soon as the news reaches Russia, her fairy tale is threatened as his parents travel to New York to annul the marriage. IMDb editor Arno Kazarian offers a brief overview of the 12 films he screened at the 2024 New York Film Festival, including Honora and the dangerously erotic Misericordia.

At a press conference at the Cannes Film Festival, Mikey Madison said that director Sean Baker acted out different sexual poses with his wife, producer Samantha Kwan, to show the actors what he wanted them to do

Igor: PLEASE! ENOUGH!

It is mentioned in the film “Close-up: Anora” (2024)

SHOUT!. Watching this film at the Cannes Film Festival was such a unique experience that I completely lost count of the things I normally pay attention to—the direction, the script, the editing, the acting, everything.

That’s when you realize that the film is truly exceptional!

Sean Baker invites us to another anti-stereotypical journey that will make you forget about everything else that is happening in your life. I am incredibly grateful that I had the privilege of seeing this masterpiece in Cannes, at the legendary Bolshoi Theater Lumiere, sitting just a few rows from the film crew.

The 10-minute standing ovation was more than deserved — it was amazing!
