Sean Baker Makes Movies About Sex Workers in Hopes of ‘Helping Remove the Stigma’ — and He’s ‘Already Talking About the Next One’
At a Cannes press conference for his new film 'Anora,' Sean Baker discussed his affinity for making films about sex workers and teased his next film.
In the film, Mikey Madison (“Better Things,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”) plays Anora, a 23-year-old working at a strip club outside of New York City. Her luck changes when she meets Vanya (Mark Eydelshteyn), the son of a Russian oligarch, who takes her on a week-long bender in Vegas during which the two get married. “Anora” has been critically lauded out of Cannes, with Variety ‘s Peter Debruge writing that “Baker’s subversively romantic, free-wheeling sex farce makes ‘Pretty Woman’ look like a Disney movie.”
