In the mesmerizing world of film, 'Poor Things' has emerged as a spectacular Frankenstein-esque fantasia, featuring the tale of a young woman breathed back to life by a demented surgeon. But the real masterpiece lies in the behind-the-scenes work that fashioned the film’s peculiarly warped universe— an act of mad cinematic science par excellence.
This cinematic oddity crafted by Yorgos Lanthimos takes all the traditional elements of classic Hollywood— sprawling sets, miniatures, opulent costumes— complementing them with understated touches of cutting-edge technology. Indeed, the film itself is a Frankenstein creation, marvellously stitched together without leaving a noticeable scar.
