Wild comedy ‘Poor Things’ wins top prize at Venice Festival

Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos poses with the Golden Lion award for best film for his comedy ‘Poor Things’.

Childlike but with an adult’s body, Stone’s character Bella Baxter grows increasingly independent and excited by her sexual experimentations as she undertakes a voyage of self-discovery through a surreal version of 19th century Europe. The top acting awards at the festival went to two US stars – Cailee Spaeny, who played the former wife of Elvis Presley in the biopic “Priscilla”, and Peter Sarsgaard, who featured in the gritty family drama “Memory”.

Collecting his award, Sarsgaard said AI had to be curbed, warning that the issue had implications that went far beyond Hollywood.
