What Is ‘Anora’ About?

It’s almost always framed as something the newlyweds will later regret, eventually leading to annulment or divorce.

‘Anora’ is the highest-grossing film of director Sean Baker’s acclaimed career.

InRed Rocket, every breathtaking sunset makes the industrial backdrop of Texas City look like a painting.

Baker treats these less-shown parts of the United States the same way major studios depict Manhattan at Christmas.

It’s not about the actual landscape,but what the setting has to offer the characters.
