25-year-old Mikey Madison delivers a breakout performance as Ani, a quick-witted, street-smart Brooklyn woman who dances at a strip club and occasionally moonlights as a sex worker. Her life takes a sharp turn when she impulsively marries the son of a Russian oligarch, setting off a series of events that sees her Cinderella story threatened by powerful forces determined to annul the marriage.
Directed by acclaimed American indie filmmaker Sean Baker (The Florida Project, Tangerine), Anora is a fiery, unpredictable screwball comedy that’s as profane as it is poignant. With sharp humour and a relentless pace, this highly acclaimed, Palme d'Or-winning film offers a captivating look at a flawed, fearless woman fighting for her place in a world that wants to tear her down.
Nominated for 6 Oscars in 2025, including Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress (Madison).
