Venice Film Festival | Yorgos Lanthimos’s ‘Poor Things’ gets 10-minute standing ovation

The Hindu  

Yorgos Lanthimos’s Frankensteinian black comedy Poor Things screened to an encouraging response at the 80th Venice International Film Festival. According to a report in Deadline.com, the film received a 10-minute-plus standing ovation after the screening amid chants of ‘Yorgos, Yorgos’. However, Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo - the stars of Poor Things - could not be in attendance owing to the SAG-AFTRA strikes. “Why is there no sex in movies anymore?” Lanthimos jokingly wondered at the film’s press conference in Venice.
