Feministisch und surreal – »Poor Things« ist ein Meisterwerk

Der griechische Regisseur Yorgos Lanthimos hat mit »Poor Things« eine gleichermaßen poetische wie moderne Frankenstein-Variation gedreht. Der für insgesamt elf Oscars nominierte Film ist vom Drehbuch über die Besetzung und schauspielerische Leistung bis hin zur ästhetischen Bildsprache ein Meisterwerk, das unerschrocken und konsequent für die künstlerische Vision seines Machers spricht.

Retellings for #riotgrams! It’s kind of obvious from the covers what each is a retelling of, except for Poor Things, which bills itself a postmodern revision of Frankenstein. I love that these are all female-centric retellings in some way, four of them authored by women, and Gray’s Poor Things replaces Frankenstein’s monster with Bella Baxter, a drowned woman brought back to life with the brain of an infant. Some of my all-time favorite authors on display here! . . #retellings #bookstack #bookdragon #merlinsbooke #janeyolen #greatexpectations #kathyacker #weight #jeanettewinterson #onethousandandonenights #hananalshaykh #alasdairgray #poorthings #booknerd https://www.instagram.com/p/ByiHWG6ARzn/?igshid=127ky4nubzra4

She said "Were you the only one who could help me, Lanark? Nobody special? Nobody splendid?" "Have you known special men?" "None who weren't pretenders. But I used to have fantastic dreams." "I can imagine nobody more splendid than you." "Take care, that makes me stronger. I may not find a better man but I'll always be able to imagine one." "But that makes me stronger." "Don't talk." They did not sleep again until he had explored with his body all the sweet crevices of her body. #newbook #igreaders #igreads #ioleggoperché #bellochilegge #vintagebooks #bookstagram #instabook #lanark #alasdairgray #libri #libridaleggere #igbooks #bookworm (presso Drumnadrochit) https://www.instagram.com/p/BwMhS-_glSP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=10sgmal1rmm5w

A painting I did in the mid-90’s. This man frequented the Uisge Beatha pub, Woodlands Rd, Glasgow…my favourite haunt in 1992/3. The brilliant writer and artist Alasdair Gray, liked that pub too, he lived close by. ‘Poor Things’ is set a few hundreds metres away. This painting was bought by someone with the zip code 90210…So I guess it’s in Beverly Hills. Oil on wood. Oil paint on wood panel. Size approximately A3. #paintings #oilpaint #drunks #boozers #pubs #stamghast #uisgebeatha #glasgow #scotland #alasdairgray #poorthings #guinness I like Poor Things a lot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poor_Things https://www.instagram.com/p/CU-OpebsNVi/?utm_medium=tumblr
