From May 25, around 8 p.m., the question is no longer who will receive the Palme d’Or at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, but when. Because Anora, because this is the film we are talking about, was not yet dated by its French distributor Le Pacte, at the time Greta Gerwig invited her director Sean Baker to come and look for the most valuable awards.
But it’s already over, and we’ll still have to wait until October 30 to discover the sixth feature film directed by Sean Baker, the leader of American independent cinema, who will surely take on another dimension with this award and the inherent spotlight.
In Anora, he revisits the subject of sex workers to tell the story of a New York stripper (Mike Madison, seen in Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood and The Fifth Scream) and his relationship with his son. Russian oligarch.
A fun, energetic, euphoric and melancholic film that boosted the Croisette and that could do the same at Deauville (where Sean Baker presented his last three opus, Tangerine, The Florida Project and Red Rocket) and/or at the Lumière Festival, which will be held from 14 to 20 October . Until you discover this gem in theaters.
