Interesting cast list!

The Film is based on a novel of the same name by Alasdair Gray

PLOT: Bella, a young Victorian woman who, after being crudely resurrected by a mad scientist following her suicide, runs off with a debauched lawyer to embark on a surrealistic odyssey for self-discovery and liberation

    I’m not familiar with this director, but this sounds like a wild ride and an interesting movie. Can you recommend a starting place to get into their films?

      One of my favorite movies in general is Lanthimos’ The Lobster. I think it’s brilliant, macabre and funny at the same time. Big recommendation.

      The Killing Of A Sacred Deer… Fascinating. I liked it too but it’s more on the psycho-horror side of things.

      His last movie in cinemas was The Favorite iirc. Also plays in the Victorian era setting like this new work. I liked the movie but didn’t make the same impression on me as the other two. His earlier works I can’t give an opinion about as I have yet to watch them :)
