2) Poor Things
By Yorgos Lanthimos, Poor Things is a dizzying plunge into the strange world of the Victorian Gone. Subjected to her story of self-discovery, not just after resurrection but after transformation through death, the film creates impossible boundaries between the bestial and beautiful. Emma Stone personifies Bella with electric bursts of psychedelia, akin to the chaos and the wonder of a dream. The production design is strikingly exaggerated and vibrant, like a living hallucination. Critics praised it as daring, an exploration of freedom and identity, establishing Lanthimos as a modern visionary who creates unsettling yet captivating cinematic fever dreams.
