“I am telling you, you do not know this guy!” You tell ’em! Neon has revealed the first official trailer for Anora, the beloved Palme d’Or winner from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, the latest film from acclaimed American filmmaker Sean Baker (of Tangerine, The Florida Project, Red Rocket). “A love story from Sean Baker starring Mikey Madison.” Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn who works nightly as a stripper in Manhattan, gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and then impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch named Vanya (aka Ivan). Once the news reaches Russia, her fairytale is threatened as the parents set out for New York to get the marriage annulled.

Absolutely deserves the Palme d’Or and all the awards that are coming its way later this year. A must watch first trailer. // Continue Reading ›
