Greek director Giorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Creatures hit our screens last Wednesday, continuing his American adventure following The Lobster, Killing of the Sacred Deer and Favourite.
He finds it there five films later, starring Emma Stone as Bella Baxter, a young woman brought back to life by Dr. Godwin Baxter after the latter committed suicide by jumping off a bridge.
In the role of a scientist, we meet the wonderful Willem Dafoe, and in the role of a lawyer who falls under the spell of a young woman and takes her on an initiative journey to discover Europe, Mark Ruffalo.
The actor is quite a rarity these days and we’re excited to see him soon alongside Robert Pattinson, Toni Collette and Steven Yeun for the upcoming release of Bong Joon-ho’s new film Mickey 17.
Before you start your quiz on this actor, here are some secrets from Poor Creatures, which opens in theaters on Wednesday, January 17th.
