Review by fschultz-99932

This is a movie which encompasses all the elements of what good cinematography intends to be: using cameras, light and sound to create a world of it's own.

Director Yorgos Lanthimos based his motion picture on Alasdair Gray's novel from 1992 and turned it into a phantasmagoric narrative.

And it's the way this narrative is being presented which makes it such an overwhelming experience.

Take, for instance, the alternating use of black-and-white and colour for certain scenes.

Talking about colour: the artwork emphasises the scenes taking place abroad, adding an extra dimension.

Then there's the inextricable role played by the music composed by Jerskin Fendrix!

Also the costumes designed by Holly Waddington look almost natural om Emma Stone, but please take a closer look to see the craftsmanship.

Now that we mentioned her name, let's be clear: her's is an astonishing performance, which should be awarded accordingly.

Reading this review you might think 'OK, I get it: its arty farty, right?' Don't be mistaken, underneath it all there are layers of truth, which could be summarised by the question: 'What exactly is the nature of a human being?' Foremost though, immerse yourself in 'Poor Things' and enjoy!
