November 15, 2024 ~ Lucy Ann Lance talks with Perry Seibert, Michigan Movie Critics Guild for this week's Talking Pictures. The film “Anora,” directed by Sean Baker, tells the story of a 23-year-old exotic dancer from New York who enters a whirlwind marriage with the son of a wealthy Russian oligarch. The lead actress, Mickey Madison, delivers a captivating performance that stands out for its unique charm. Known for focusing on marginalized individuals, Baker crafts a narrative that, while reminiscent of films like “Pretty Woman,” offers depth through character development and exceptional casting of lesser-known actors.
