Last fall, a poll revealed that Gen Z moviegoers were more turned off by sex in movies than violence, prompting filmmaker Sean Baker to challenge this notion. His film 'Anora' made a splash at the 97th Academy Awards, winning five Oscars including Best Picture.
'Anora' tells the story of an erotic dancer who marries a Russian oligarch's son, pushing boundaries with its explicit content. The film, made for $6 million and distributed by Neon, defies mainstream conventions and aligns more with the artistic sensibilities of Cannes Film Festival, where it previously won the Palme d’Or.
