Emma Stone was a sex comedy MVP.The “La La Land” actress got her start in raunch-fests such as 2008’s “The House Bunny,” in which she played the leader of a sorority that invited a retired Playboy Playmate to be its house mother, and she took on the part of a teen outcast who faked hooking up with nerds for a quick buck in “Easy A” in 2010.Running time: 141 minutes. Rated R (strong and pervasive sexual content, graphic nudity, disturbing material, gore, and language).
In theaters.Thirteen years later, Stone has returned to the genre in the most messed-up way imaginable with “Poor Things,” the insatiably weird new film from Greek auteur Yorgos Lanthimos. The actress plays a Frankenstein’s monster who goes on a European adventure and, naturally, becomes an oddly inspiring nymphomaniac along the way.Quite the elevator pitch.This “Thing,” suffice it to say, will not be as easy to swallow for mainstream audiences as Stone’s past romps.
The same is true of Lanthimos, whose “The Favourite,” which Stone co-starred in with Olivia Colman and Rachel Weisz, was a Best Picture Oscar nominee in 2019. “Poor Things” is a far wilder ride.Yet it’s one whose warped imagery — merging grand Gothic romance with “The Nightmare Before Christmas” — lingers nightmare-like in your mind long after the credits roll.
And Stone’s fearless, witty and physical performance as Bella is major step in a career that increasingly favors the offbeat over big, boring paydays.We first meet Bella when she’s a strange new science experiment of Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe, whose prosthetics leave a faint taste of Elephant Man), a controversial biologist.

Emma Stone and filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos are on a roll, so much so they could be one of the next great actor/director partnerships like Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio or perhaps a more appropriate analogy, George Cukor and Katharine Hepburn (who did eight films between 1932 and 1952).

Ari Aster and Yorgos Lanthimos, who helmed “The Favourite,” have each developed an unmistakable filmmaking voice. But this year, both stretched into brand-new cinematic territory. With “Beau Is Afraid,” Aster crafted a nearly three-hour fever dream chronicling the mental unraveling of its profoundly neurotic title character, played to the hilt by Joaquin Phoenix.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor The biggest challenge for “Poor Things” costume designer Holly Waddington was trying to establish a costume arc for Emma Stone’s Bella Baxter. In the Searchlight film based on Alasdair Gray’s novel of the same name, Bella is a creation of Willem Dafoe’s mad scientist Godwin. He brings Bella back to life after she tries to kill herself, using the brain of an unborn fetus, and Bella ends up a young child trapped in a woman’s body.
