Contemporary cinema's foremost chronicler of American dreamers and schemers hustling on the margins of capitalist promise, Sean Baker, reaches new heights of mastery with this audacious anti-Cinderella story-a whirlwind neorealist screwball comedy with an aching heart.

In an electric, star-is-born performance, Mikey Madison soars as Anora, an enterprising, ferociously foulmouthed Brooklyn erotic dancer and sex worker whose Prince Not-So-Charming comes along in the form of a Russian oligarch's wild-child son (Mark Eydelshteyn).

This is the beginning of a fractured fairy tale-also featuring standout performances from Karren Karagulian, Yura Borisov, and Vache Tovmasyan-that turns the cruel realities of class inside out.

Winner of the Palme d'Or at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival and nominated for six Academy Awards® including Best Picture, and seven BAFTA® Awards including Best Film, Anora confirms Baker as one of our preeminent auteurs.

Anora is released on Blu-ray and 4K UHD 5th May 2025 from Spirit Entertainment as part of the Criterion Collection.
