“I'm Yorgos Lanthimos, the director of 'Poor Things.'” “Understand that we have never lived outside of God's house.” “What?” 'So there is still so much for Bella to discover. And through your sad face I discover angry feelings for you. “This is a scene set in a restaurant in Lisbon, where Bella Baxter and Duncan, played by Emma Stone and Mark Ruffalo, are eating. And there are other people dancing. During that moment, the music attracts Bella, and she instinctively gets up and wants to join the dance. It's a very funny, awkward, physical situation that Bella has never really danced in, and it's very intuitive what she's doing. He's not a good dancer. He tries to keep up with her. We had a lot of help from Constanza Macras, who did the choreography. So the dance, because she was doing it for the first time, just felt like it was supposed to be something very primitive, kind of babyish, but then it quickly develops into something that she wants to hold on to and lose control of herself. And Mark isn't a great dancer in real life either. And on the other hand, Emma is a very good dancer, so we used that dynamic when creating the choreography. And it actually turned out funnier than we thought.” “Why do you keep doing that?” “A man there blinked at me repeatedly. I'm just blinking, I think.' [MUSIC PLAYING]
