Anora tells the story of a young sex worker from Brooklyn who hastily marries the son of an oligarch, whose parents immediately mobilize their lackeys to annul the marriage as quickly as possible. What follows is a wild aftermath, set against the backdrop of New York’s marginalized working-class neighborhoods and its pulsating nightlife. With gritty, realistic cinematography, an engaging soundtrack, and authentic performances, Sean Baker’s (*Tangerine*, *The Florida Project*) Palme d’Or winner becomes a searingly intense and entertaining drama of the highest caliber.
