Anora | Festival Darling Preview

Be one of the first to experience acclaimed director Sean Baker's twisted modern-day fairytale and major Oscar contender, Anora, at our Festival Darling Preview, at the brand new Palace Church Street!

This special preview includes a complimentary glass of prosecco on arrival.

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the dark comedy is reminiscent of Baker’s previous, successful films that blend sharp social commentary with compelling character studies. Mikey Madison leads in an 'all-time performance' (IndieWire) almost certain to earn the breakout star her first nod from the Academy.

The highly entertaining arthouse gem captures the audacious journey of a Brooklyn sex worker thrust into a whirlwind Cinderella story turned darkly comedic nightmare. The film follows Anora, a sex worker from Brooklyn, who gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and marries the son of an oligarch. Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

With Baker's signature style, Anora is both a poignant and irreverent exploration of societal contrasts, cultural clashes, and personal resilience.
