"Anora" - the winner of the Cannes Film Festival will soon be released in Russia: what is the film about, is it worth going to see
"Anora" - the triumphant film of the Cannes Film Festival will soon be released in Russia. What is the film about and is it worth going to see?
On October 17, Russian cinemas will present the long-awaited drama "Anora" by American director Sean Baker. The film has already had worldwide success, having received the main prize - the "Golden Palm" of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival. The film captivated the jury and viewers with its authenticity, emotionality and amazing relevance.
The plot centers on the unexpected love of Russian Major Ivan (Mark Eidelstein), the son of an oligarch, and Anora (Mikey Madison), a Russian escort. After just a week of passionate romance in the bright lights of Las Vegas, they decide to get married on a whim. However, Ivan's parents are categorically against this hasty union and do everything they can to break it up.
One of the unique features of the film is that most of the dialogue is in Russian. The cast includes famous Russian actors Yura Borisov, Aleksey Serebryakov and Darya Ekamasova. Their participation gave the film a special depth and authenticity, which did not go unnoticed by foreign viewers and critics.
Viewers and journalists who have already seen Anora expressed joy at his performance. In particular, the brilliant performances of Mikey Madison and Yura Borisov should be noted. The simplicity of the story, told with incredible emotion, humor and drama, will not leave you indifferent. The film evokes a wide range of emotions: from sincere laughter to deep sadness, forcing viewers to live every moment with the characters.
The American publication Variety called the film a "rough diamond". Critic Peter Debruge highlighted Mark Eidelstein's performance, comparing his sophistication and manners to Timothée Chalamet. In his opinion, the change in Ivan's character is striking. From the image of a handsome prince in the eyes of Anora, he gradually turned into a pathetic person under the influence of family pressure.
Critics say Yura Borisov, who plays one of the main roles, gives the film a special depth. Although at first glance his character seems determined and threatening (Anora notes that he has “the eyes of a rapist”), he turns out to be the only one who really wants to bridge the gap between the two worlds. This contrast highlights the difference between superficial material values and true human emotions.
Critics note that director Sean Baker has created a dynamic film about the intersection of two cultures and languages, exploring the complexities of relationships in the modern world. Anora touches on important themes of identity, cultural differences and authenticity in relationships. The film invites viewers to think about what is truly important in life and to reconsider their own values.
"Anora" promises to be one of the most watched and discussed films of this autumn. This is a film that can give you emotions, emotions and sympathy for the characters. It is no coincidence that this film won the main prize at the Cannes Film Festival. If you like authentic and humane films, be sure to watch "Anora", which will premiere on October 17.
