Anora (March 17)
A cocktail blending the grit of Brooklyn’s underbelly with the opulence of Russian oligarchy, this film focuses on Anora “Ani” Mikheeva (Mikey Madison), a 23-year-old stripper as she navigates the neon-lit landscape of Brighton Beach. Her world flips when she encounters Ivan “Vanya” Zakharov (Mark Eydelshteyn), the 21-year-old son of a Russian magnate. What begins as a transactional fling swiftly escalates into a whirlwind romance, culminating in an impulsive Las Vegas wedding. However, their impromptu union sends shockwaves across continents, ruffling the feathers of Vanya’s formidable parents. Determined to dissolve this unsanctioned matrimony, they dispatch a trio of henchmen to reclaim their wayward heir. The film won five Oscars at the 97th Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Actress for Madison and Best Director for Sean Baker.
