Step Into The Wild Mind of Yorgos Lanthimos With New ‘Poor Things’ Experience

Poor Things

Filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos has teamed up with producer Emma Stone to birth Poor Things, the latest from the director’s wild mind. Bella Baxter, played by Stone, runs off to see the world with dissolute lawyer Duncan Wedderburn, played by Mark Ruffalo, after having been resurrected by Dr. Godwin Baxter, played by Willem Dafoe. 

Between Dogtooth, The Killing of a Sacred Deer, The Lobster, and now Poor Things, have you ever wondered what the hell goes on inside the mind of Yorgos Lanthimos? Ever wish you could step in and experience that wacky eclectic world just for one night? If you have, I’m telling you now… you got what you asked for.

Per the official press alert,

In celebration of the Poor Things film release, Searchlight Pictures has announced the official opening of the “Salon of Seduction” experience taking over Maison Premiere in Brooklyn for a limited time December 6th-December 10th.
