‘Poor Things’ Set as Opening Film at Camerimage
variety.comPeter Caranicas Deputy Editor Awards contender “Poor Things” will open EnergaCamerimage, the cinematography-focused film festival that will take place in Torun, Poland, on November 11-18.
The film, starring Emma Stone and directed by Greek helmer Yorgos Lanthimos (“Dogtooth,” “The Lobster”), won the Golden Lion at Venice.
