0:03
Nora comes from Shan Bakers the
0:06
filmmaker behind the Florida project
0:08
which was the uh Oscar nominated movie
0:12
from a few years ago Anora is about a
0:16
sex worker from Brooklyn she is a
0:18
stripper at a club and she also does sex
0:23
work on the side a young Russian
0:27
gentleman decides that he wants to buy
0:31
her as a girlfriend experience for the
0:34
weekend the weekend turns into a week
0:40
marriage then and then once his family
0:44
the family of zacharov finds out about
0:47
the Anora marriage to a sex worker they
0:51
family comes in to break up and anull
0:55
marriage uh zacharov is this young
0:58
gentleman that comes from very rich
1:01
Russian family family of Russian Jews
1:04
and they want nothing to do with Anora
1:07
um the relationship is sweeping it's
1:10
kind of romantic you see Anora played by
1:13
Mikey Madison like kind of fall for him
1:17
she gets like and and by the way in true
1:20
tradition with sha Baker's work
1:23
everything is very played very real the
1:26
moments are very real when they're
1:30
it's I mean it's not graphic but they're
1:35
having sex there's nudity at the club um
1:39
the the the scenes where they are
1:41
intimate um you see the closeness you
1:44
see Anora get drawn into his life he
1:47
lives in this huge mansion with big
1:50
screen TV amazing just bedroom and and
1:55
uh just all the amenities that come with
1:57
uh being super rich they go on a trip to
2:00
Vegas um and and it's very sweet like
2:06
them and I'm really giving you a the
2:09
broad Strokes of what's in the trailer
2:12
um but you know it's doomed things go
2:14
arai when these basically uh Heavies
2:19
tough guys um sort of Mafia adjacent
2:24
show up uh to to put things right and
2:28
that's where the comedy comes in
2:30
because uh it turns into sort of an
2:32
after hours inspired 24-hour crazy night
2:36
to find zacharof which has gone missing
2:39
and Anora Mikey Madison we're looking at
2:42
an Oscar Nom here she is so good as this
2:46
character so many layers um there's so
2:54
Humanity sexy and heartbreaking all at
2:58
once um I'm a I'm a fan of Shawn Baker's
3:01
work I mean um you know if you've seen
3:03
the Florida project I mean that film is
3:06
heartbreak unto itself a movie that that
3:08
he made that was not um didn't get all
3:12
the play it deserved red rocket was
3:15
fantastic you should see red rocket and
3:18
he began his career strangely with
3:20
Tangerine a movie that was shot on an
3:24
iPhone five so um I I love sha Baker's
3:29
work it's honest it's real and this film
3:32
even though I think the running time is
3:34
a little little too long it's north of
3:36
two hours it is a heartbreaking story
3:39
and by the way it's uh you know there's
3:42
a lot of pretty women to look at it did
3:45
win the Palm to or at KH so uh I'll just
3:48
say strong recommend for Anora it is
3:53
release so it's not everywhere yet but
3:56
make sure to put this one on your list
3:59
it's an experience it's oh my God the
4:02
moments I don't can't ruin the humor but
4:07
bumbling tough guys trying to control
4:10
this tiny you know she's a 100 pounds if
4:14
she's you know wet like it's it's it's
4:19
hilarious so Allan I really think you
4:22
would love this film too yeah you
4:24
convinced me to see it uh we also gave
4:25
us 10 out of 10 uh on the site yeah who
4:29
who I don't know who reviewed it on the
4:31
site Alex reviewed it oh yeah it's a 10
4:33
out of 10 yeah and it's um I I saw a
4:36
friend of mine saw who speaks Russian my
4:39
friend Alex and he raved about it in
4:42
fact yeah he's who wrote the review no
4:45
no no different Alex okay sorry Russ
4:48
Alex nin he's um he saw this movie he
4:53
actually knows one of the strippers in
4:54
the movie that's that he's I'm not gonna
4:58
say how he knows of the strippers who's
5:01
a a character Diamond so um he said uh
5:05
he could get her on the show if we want
5:09
um but in any case strong recommend for
5:12
this movie um go see it it's really
5:16
surprising and it's it's it's all the
5:18
gamut of emotions so yeah my favorite
5:21
part of your view is she's a who's
5:25
trying to find love uh things go well
5:27
until things turn and the Russians come
5:29
in and that's when it becomes a
5:31
comedy it does it becomes a comedy all
5:35
right it's I I God I I I I don't know I
5:39
just love this movie I think it's I
5:41
think it's really you've convinced me
5:43
I'm gonna say it's a more realistic
5:45
Pretty Woman it's it's grounded in
