A new trailer has been released for the wild and edgy romantic drama Anora. The film centers on a young sex worker from Brooklyn, who gets her chance at a Cinderella story when she meets and impulsively marries the son of an oligarch.
The synopsis reads: “Ani (Mikey Madison) is a young Uzbek-American stripper from Brighton Beach, a Russophone enclave in New York City. As she is somewhat conversant in Russian, her boss at the strip club fixes her up with a Russian-speaking client.
“After meeting Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch, a romance kindles that leads to their elopement while on a trip to Las Vegas. Their fairytale marriage is threatened when the man’s parents travel to New York to force an annulment.”
The film is the Palme d’Or winner from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, and it comes from filmmaker Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project, Red Rocket), who wrote and directed the movie.
The film also stars Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, and Vache Tovmasyan.
Check out the trailer below, and watch Anora in select US theaters on October 18th.
