“I remember saying very clearly when I was 20 that I would never do a nude scene. Ever. And I do that quite often here.”Emma Stone laughs about her performance in Poor Creatures. In this film, which marks his second collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos after La Favorite, the actor gives himself body and soul.
And especially in the sex scenes that highlight Bella coming back to life and being transplanted with the brain of the baby she was pregnant with. A (re)discovery of the world, along with an accelerated transition to adulthood, in this adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s novel of the same name, a crazy, radical, feminist, raw and surprising re-reading of the Frankenstein myth. Where Emma Stone illustrates “Get out of your comfort zone”.
“That’s also what was so inspiring about Bella’s character. She has no shame. So to be honest with her story, she has nothing to be ashamed of, and it was a hugely liberating thing to try to do that.”
“As everyone always says, the sex scenes are very clinical and choreographed. We had this amazing intimacy coordinator, Elle McAlpineAnd in the room, every time we shot one of these scenes, there was Yorgos, our cinematographer. Robbie RyanOur assistant director Haley Williams And Olga Abramson, our operator’s assistant. It’s left.”
“It was very nice and choreographed”
“I was so comfortable with this small group that it was strangely easy. I would say these days were my favorite because it was so intimate. Then you came out, there were hundreds of technicians, and we were like, “Oh, we. They were in this room and it was very quiet. It was very enjoyable and choreographed. “
The scenes seen on our screens from January 17 are funny, surprising and unexpected and definitely not disturbing. And they’re fully into the vibe that Yorgos Lanthimos has tapped into with this new film, which could win Emma Stone her second Best Actress Oscar seven years after La La Land.
