After scooping Best Director, Best Actress, Best Picture and Screenplay at the Oscars this month, Anora returns to Studio 74 in full glory with much demand!

This Palme d’Or winner from director Sean Baker (Red Rocket, The Florida Project) follows a turbulent relationship between a New York–based exotic dancer and the son of a Russian oligarch.

Sex worker Anora lives in a shabby Brooklyn apartment above the rattle of the subway, but every night, she glams up and puts on a flirty smile for the men at a local club where she finds herself talking to Vanya, a young Russian boy who joyfully throws around his parents’ money. His innocence charms Anora, and the two fall into a comfortable rhythm. She shows him a good time, and he opens the door to a charmed life she could only have imagined. They begin a whirlwind romance that’s soon threatened by Vanya’s powerful family. Anora finds herself gripping onto a fantasy by her long pink fingernails.
