Anora, a young prostitute from Brooklyn, impulsively meets and marries the son of an oligarch
When news reaches Russia, her fairytale is put in jeopardy when her parents leave for New York to annul their marriage. IMDb editor Arno Kazarian offers a quick rundown of 12 films he screened at the 2024 New York Film Festival, including Anora and the dangerous and curiously erotic Mercy. At the Cannes Film Festival press conference, Mikey Madison said director Sean Baker would play out different sexual positions with his wife, producer Samantha Quan, to demonstrate to the actors what he wanted them to do.

Mikey Madison gives a captivating performance as Anora, playing her with a mix of vulnerability and fierce determination
Sean Baker, the director of « The Florida Project »; and « Tangerine, » has a knack for finding humanity in unexpected places. With « Anora, » he delves into the world of a young Brooklyn prostitute who finds herself swept up in the son of a Russian oligarch. What initially seems like a fairy tale quickly devolves into a chaotic clash of cultures as Anora grapples with her new reality.
The film doesn’t shy away from the reality of her life, but it also avoids sensationalism
Baker’s signature neorealist style, using non-professional actors and filming on location, gives the film a raw authenticity. While the film’s first act may test the patience of some viewers, it is crucial in establishing Anora’s world and the circumstances that lead to her impulsive marriage. Once the Russian parents enter the picture, the film really takes off, becoming a darkly comic and often unpredictable exploration of family, romantic and cultural clashes.
« Anora » is not your typical romantic comedy
It’s a film that defies expectations and offers a fresh perspective on the immigrant experience in America. While it may not be for everyone, those willing to take the journey will be rewarded with an inspiring and ultimately moving film.
