Winner of five Academy Awards® including Best Actress for Mikey Madison, and a record-breaking four awards for director Sean Baker, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing, ANORA comes to 4K UHD and Blu-ray™ for the first time on 5th May.
Contemporary cinema’s foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise, Sean Baker, reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti–Cinderella story—a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart. In an electric, star-is-born performance, Mikey Madison soars as Anora, an enterprising, ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch’s wild-child son (Mark Eydelshteyn). This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale—also featuring standout performances from Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan—that turns the cruel realities of class inside out.
Also winner of the Palme d’Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and two BAFTA® Awards including Mikey Madison for Leading Actress, ANORA confirms Baker as one of our preeminent auteurs.
