Poor Things: The hair, the drama and Maisie’s revelation

This week we go on the wild ride that is Poor Things by Yorgos Lanthimos. It’s a real head-scratcher as we try get to the bottom of what it’s all supposed to MEAN?! In the latest from one of our favourite directors, it’s the costume dept that are our true heroes of this film. We discuss the visual effects and production behind this eccentric spectacle, and, the erm, unique accent work. Plus, our favourite listener comments!

Written by Tony McNamara, directed Yorgos Lanthimos, based on the book Poor Things by Alasdair Gray. It stars Emma Stone, Ramy Youssef, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffulo.
