“Anora” has been the talk of the film world for nearly a year, and now it’s on the cusp of Oscar glory.
The film follows a sex worker who falls in love with the son of a Russian oligarch whose father shows up and tries to get the two to break up. The film hails from Sean Baker whose previous films “The Florida Project” and “Red Rocket” meant that this movie was going to be hyped — and that was before it won the Palme d’Or at Cannes and scored eight Oscar nominations including Best Picture.
