Anora4K Ultra HD + Blu-rayGenre: ComedyLabel: The Criterion CollectionDescription: Contemporary cinema’s foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise Sean Baker reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti–Cinderella story—a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart. In an electric star-is-born performance Mikey Madison soars as Anora an enterprising ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch’s wild-child son (Mark Eydelshteyn). This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale—also featuring standout performances from Karren Karagulian Yura Borisov and Vache Tovmasyan—that turns the cruel realities of class inside out. Winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival Anora confirms Baker as one of our preeminent auteurs. Film InfoUnited States2024139 minutesColor2.39:1English Russian ArmenianSpine #1259
