She is under the peculiar guardianship of Dr. Godwin Baxter (portrayed by Willem Dafoe), a renowned and extravagantly unorthodox scientist with a penchant for dissecting both the living and the dead, giving him the air of a bespoke butcher.
‘Poor Things
The story unfolds in an opulent London mansion filled with peculiarities, where Baxter conducts his experiments in a hidden lab. Alongside Bella, a maid, and a collection of repulsive animal experiments, he unravels the secrets of corpses. The narrative takes a surreal turn when Baxter confesses that Bella is, in fact, an experiment herself. The shocking revelation reveals that he reanimated her by replacing her brain with that of a fetus he discovered after her death.
In summary, “Poor Things” weaves a visually sumptuous and gleefully clever tale that ventures into the peculiar and macabre under the direction of Yorgos Lanthimos. The film explores the bizarre world of Bella and her unorthodox guardian, Dr. Baxter, creating a unique and darkly humorous twist on the classic Frankenstein story.
