A full red-band trailer has been released for the edgy romantic drama Anora, the Palme d’Or winner from the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, from filmmaker Sean Baker (Tangerine, The Florida Project, Red Rocket), who wrote and directed the pic.

The film stars Mikey Madison, Mark Eydelshteyn, Yura Borisov, Karren Karagulian, and Vache Tovmasyan.

The synopsis reads: “Ani (Mikey Madison) is a young Uzbek-American stripper from Brighton Beach, a Russophone enclave in New York City. As she is somewhat conversant in Russian, her boss at the strip club fixes her up with a Russian-speaking client.

“After meeting Vanya, the son of a Russian oligarch, a romance kindles that leads to their elopement while on a trip to Las Vegas. Their fairytale marriage is threatened when the man’s parents travel to New York to force an annulment.”

This looks intriguing, like a grittier Pretty Woman. Check out the trailer below, and watch Anora in select US theaters on October 18th.
