Ben Ulansey examines Yorgos Lanthimos' latest film 'Poor Things', a surreal and impressionistic work that delves into masterfully crafted chaos. Despite its meticulous construction, bizarre plot twists, and jaw-dropping visuals, the movie intentionally keeps viewers in a perpetual state of confusion. While acknowledging its artistic merits, Ulansey questions whether pure entertainment should be the chief function of such avant-garde films that prioritize bewilderment over storytelling. He contrasts it with more conventional crowd-pleasers, wondering if the relentless pursuit of oddity comes at the cost of accessibility and resonance.
