Poor Things - 35mm Screenings

35MM Screenings

Dendy Newtown is one of only two cinemas in the country to receive a 35mm print of Yorgos Lanthimos’ acclaimed new masterpiece! Experience the transfixing, bizarre and beautiful black comedy starring Academy Award winner Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, and Willem Dafoe, in glorious 35mm on the big screen, at the home of quality cinema.

From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter (Dafoe). Under Baxter’s protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn (Ruffalo), a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation.
