LOS ANGELES: Hollywood A-listers say they had the best time bonding in the black comedy “Poor Things.” For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @arabnews.lifestyle In the film, Oscar-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos brings together Emma Stone, Mark Ruffalo, Willem Dafoe, Ramy Youssef and others to retell an inspirational fantasy from the Victorian ages. Stone told Arab News: “The actors in this are incredible. Mark and Willem and Rami, look at them! And Catherine. It was so incredible. Like you couldn’t ask for a better group of actors. So, I was so, so beyond lucky.” Youssef said: “Literally the best group of people you could ever be involved with. It was so, so special. Emma’s a genius. Willem, Yorgos, obviously. Mark. It was the best time I’ve ever had.” Aside from the highly praised custom and set designs, Stone gave an Oscar-worthy performance of her character Bella, a pregnant woman revived from death with the brain of a child. She stands out with her intentionally strange facial expressions, boldness and confidence. “Bella is her own creature. She’s a woman who is hungry for experience, and she’s curious and holding … She’s my favorite … She was very inspiring,” said Stone. Bella goes through a journey of self-discovery having to finally get rid of her innocence to come back as a woman. Dafoe said: “There are elements in the film that really show you how sometimes we accept social conditioning that we take as a given. “And it kind of allows us through Bella’s journey to see another way of looking at some of these things that control us.”
