COVER STORY

Based on the eponymous 1992 novel by Alasdair Gray, Yorgos Lanthimos’ irreverent new work crea- tively revisits the typical Gothic cinema conventions with astonishing creativity, featuring an exceptionally high-caliber cast. When his daughter Bella (Emma Stone) takes her own life to escape her husband’s abuse, Dr. Godwin Baxter (Willem Defoe), a brilliant scientist, decides to bring her back to life, turning her into a kind of female Frankenstein. Eager to explore the world and driven by an insatiable sexual appetite, Bella flees with a stylish and dissolute lawyer on a whirlwind adventure across continents. Spirited, capricious, and absolutely free from the prejudices of her time, the young woman decides to fight for equality and freedom
