POOR THINGS YORGOS LANTHIMOS
A new Yorgos Lanthimos film is always an event. Whatever you think of his films, they’re never boring, and Poor Things is no exception. In this video, we look at how the Greek director approached his most recent project, from cinematography to production design to costuming.
POOR THINGS CINEMATOGRAPHY
Poor Things saw Lanthimos re-teaming with director of photography Robbie Ryan, and the two set out to push the customary Lanthimos style to new limits. Seeing Poor Things, few would argue that this goal wasn’t achieved. Through unexpected and experimental lens choices, as well as distinctive approaches to color and lighting, Ryan and Lanthimos created a unique visual palette for a truly unique story.
POOR THINGS MAKING OF PRODUCTION DESIGN
Part of what makes Poor Things such a visual feast is also its production design, overseen by PDs Shona Heath and James Price. The two department heads worked together to build massive sets so that CG could be kept at a minimum. The end result was incredibly detailed and period-accurate settings, each with a distinct flavor that corresponded with the city they were representing.
YORGOS LANTHIMOS MAKEUP AND COSTUME DESIGN
Speaking of visual feast. The costume design in Poor Things is second to none, with Bella’s outfits in particular acting as scene-stealers. The costumes were created by Holly Waddington, who took a fresh approach to Victorian-era fashion. Instead of restrictive corsets, Waddington opted for more liberating poofy dresses that were both playful and eye-popping. Makeup artist Nadia Stacey took a complimentary approach, refraining from using much makeup for Bella at all.
POOR THINGS FACTS
While the vision certainly begins at the top, Yorgos Lanthimos’ aesthetic is brought to life by his accomplished team. Nowhere is this more evident than in Poor Things, where Lanthimos’ hyperstylization is on full display.
