Yorgos Lanthimos & Emma Stone's 'Poor Things' Receives Biggest Standing Ovation at Venice Film Festival | THR News Video

'Poor Things' from filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos appears to be the big, early favorite at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. The project is a whimsical, adult-themed gothic fable that stars Emma Stone in a potentially career-defining performance. The film brought the house down at its first two press screenings ahead of its world premiere in Italy Friday night, with several moments of dark comedy becoming huge applause lines.
