Anora

Sean Baker · 2024 CE · Film · Modern / American · Contemporary

A dancer in a Brooklyn club is hired by the young son of a Russian oligarch because she speaks some Russian, the arrangement turns into a week in Las Vegas and a marriage, and then his parents' people arrive to have it annulled before the family plane lands. What follows is mostly three henchmen and a bride searching the city for a runaway husband. Baker's people are always working.
