From disaster movies and contemporary folk tales, to horrors and anime – here are the genre offerings at this year’s BFI London Film Festival

A film that's as technically rich and innovative as this strikes me as beyond the capacity of something that can be rendered artificially.

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone are receiving high praise for Poor Things, which just won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. Could the Oscars be next?

Stone has never been better, playing a woman having an unapologetic sexual awakening with transfixing reckless abandon in “Poor Things,” which just won the top prize at Venice.

Emma Stone won Best Actress for "La La Land." Reunting with Yorgos Lanthimos with "Poor Things," could she win Best Actress again this year?

Poor Things is the most visually extravagant film Lanthimos has made so far, and creating the baroque world in which it takes place was a huge technical and imaginative challenge.

BRIAN VINER: There has been a little less glamour than usual at this years Venice Film Festival , as a consequence of the Hollywood actors strike. But theres been a few really wonderful movies.

New movie releases for the week of Sept. 8, 2023 include: A tale of demons in 1950s France, warped Frankenstein-type story, a new "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" and more.

Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone team up once again for a bizarre, futuristic look at... well, something. We aren't sure what is going on besides scientific experiments and some kind of Alice in Wonderland symbolism.

Emma Stone takes on her most sexually explicit role as yet, playing the liberated Frankensteinian character of ‘Bella Baxter’ in an adaptation of Alasdair Gray’s ‘Poor Things’.
