Sean Baker's Palme d'Or winner ANORA is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation on a modern-day Cinderella story. Mikey Madison (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire. However, when Vanya's parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.
‘... The story reaches a new pitch of Coen brothers-style black comedy. Then, just when you think you have it worked out, Baker hits you with a final scene of sobering poignancy.’ Kevin Maher, Times
‘Anora is boundlessly alive with a quality we’ve seen continually in the movies of Sean Baker, among the most humanist filmmakers working today. There is joy next to sadness. There is comedy inside a tragedy.’ Tomris Laffly, RogerEbert.com
Mae ANORA, gan yr enillydd Palme d'Or Sean Baker, yn fersiwn feiddgar, wefreiddiol a chomig o stori Sinderela fodern. Mae Mikey Madison (ONCE UPON A TIME IN HOLLYWOOD) yn swyno fel Ani, gweithiwr rhyw ifanc o Brooklyn y mae ei bywyd yn cymryd tro annisgwyl pan mae'n cwrdd ac yn priodi'n fyrbwyll â Vanya, mab byrbwyll biliwnydd o Rwsia. Fodd bynnag, pan fydd rhieni Vanya yn dal dod i wybod am yr uniad, maen nhw'n anfon eu dynion caled ar ras wyllt i ddiddymu'r briodas ar unwaith.
