From filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos (THE LOBSTER, THE FAVOURITE) and producer Emma Stone comes the incredible tale and fantastical evolution of Bella Baxter (Stone - who won her second Best Actress Oscar with thanks to her bravura performance), a young woman brought back to life by the brilliant and unorthodox scientist Dr. Godwin Baxter. Under Baxter's protection, Bella is eager to learn. Hungry for the worldliness she is lacking, Bella runs off with Duncan Wedderburn, a slick and debauched lawyer, on a whirlwind adventure across the continents. Free from the prejudices of her times, Bella grows steadfast in her purpose to stand for equality and liberation. Featuring Willem Dafoe, Mark Ruffalo, Ramy Youssef, Christopher Abbott.

"Bella’s appetite for novelty is reflected in film-making that evokes a similar sense of wonder and discovery in the audience." (Observer UK)

"A film that finds itself stupendously filmed, and that, in any way, unspools in a sort of parallel universe, despite supposedly taking place in 19th-century Europe." (Los Angeles Times)

"A delicious, unpredictable mix of horror, science-fiction, romance, comedy and sex that is set in a world of exhilarating, Wes Anderson-style visual delights." (Houston Chronicle)
