Anora won four Oscar statuettes at the Academy Awards yesterday, and most people have not seen the film. Therefore, we are curious to see what it is all about.
On March 17th, aka St. Patrick’s Day, we will be able to stream the film on Hulu, and we will see if it truly was worthy of beating Wicked or one of the other eight nominated films for Best Picture, the streamer announced today.
Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner ANORA is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation on a modern day Cinderella story. Mikey Madison (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire. However, when Vanya’s parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.
Fun fact: Sean Baker created the raunchy comedy series, Greg the Bunny. To me, that is the true Cinderella story. Once you watch it, especially the episodes that did not air on Fox, you will understand why I say that!
