Emma Stone is Bella Poor creatures
After The favorite (2019), Yorgos Lanthimos finds Emma Stone with Poor creatures, a surprising fantasy comedy that is not afraid to shock its audience. The topic itself is intriguing, as it’s about a woman brought back to life by a kind of Dr. Frankenstein who transplants the brain of a newborn baby.
With his adult body, Pretty he will learn to walk and talk again. But as she is constantly locked in Dr. Godwin Baxter’s (Willem Dafoe) house, she does not follow society’s codes and only acts on his own desires that she discovers as she goes along. She will finally set off to discover the world, emancipate yourselfand then experiment with his sexuality.

The film therefore includes many sex scenes, deemed necessary by Emma Stone. The director refuses to make a modest film and wants to remain faithful to the character. However, there is nothing romantic about these, since for Bella they are more about experiences than feelings. And for the public, this is provocative sometimes a laugh, sometimes a form of discomfort.
A sex scene to edit for the UK
One sequence in particular can be quite annoying. During a visit to Paris, Bella decides to offer her services in a brothel, which will allow her to once again discover a part of the world that was previously unknown to her. Among her clients is a man, played by the French actor Damien Bonnard, and accompanied by his young sons. It is then for educational purposes that he will show his children how to make love. An extremely unhealthy situation, but one that Yorgos Lanthimos treats with irony.
However, this scene was considered problematic during the film’s release in the UK. As reported IndieWireThere British Film Classification Committee would have required editorial changes in order to authorize the publication of the Poor creatures. In its press release, the body responsible for evaluating film classification stated:
We informed the distributor that we would likely rate the film 18+ as long as changes were made to a short sequence depicting sexual activity in the presence of children.

It’s actually because of Child Protection Act 1978 that this passage posed a problem in its original drafting. The law, in fact, aims in particular to “prevent the exploitation of children by taking indecent photographs“. Although the film sequence does not show any action on the part of the boys present, the simple fact of showing them witness sex it was problematic. A new assembly was therefore proposed for the British market.
When the distributor submitted the film for official classification, the scene had been edited and we were able to classify the film in the “+18” category.
