Emma Stone stars in Giorgos Lánthimos’ new film, ‘Poor Things’ (2023), presented as a feminist apologia that once again projects the Greek filmmaker’s art of provocation.
In the film, Stone plays a woman who is created when Godwin Baxter (Willem Dafoe) places the brain of a deceased woman’s baby in her body after she commits suicide.
As part of the promotion of the audiovisual piece, the Oscar winner participated in a panel at the Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures Nominees Celebration in Los Angeles. A conversation in which the beauty, the plot and all the decadent scenes that the actress had to undergo during filming were addressed.
The interpreter then described the dietary difficulty when it came to eating 60 Portuguese cream cakes. One of the biggest challenges for her, along with others such as portraying emotions and peculiarities of her character Bella Baxter, related precisely to dealing with the excessive eating habits of her role.
‘Figure out how to walk or eat 60 Portuguese tarts, which the first bite is delicious, but by the end you really want to throw up,’ he expressed in this regard. ‘Or that I see death and decay for the first time, much more challenging than nudity, which is the only thing people seem to want to ask me about,’ Stone sentenced.
