MMA STONE STARS in this feverishly funny, feminist twist on the Frankenstein-like idea of humans playing God. Based on the 1992 is a Victorian-era confection that rips open the bustier of the corset drama and has its naughty way with it. Reuniting with her fiercely inventive director on 2018’s Oscar-winning , Yorgos Lanthimos, Stone plays Bella, a suicide victim who is rescued by a mad scientist, Dr Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) and revived, thanks to a controversial transplant. As she begins to learn language and other skills in the most idiosyncratic way, Bella becomes increasingly aware of her place in the world.
