“Poor Things,” a film about Victorian\u002Dera female empowerment, won the Golden Lion on Saturday at a Venice Film Festival.
The film, starring Emma Stone, won the top prize at the 80th edition of the festival, which is often a predictor of Oscar glory. Receiving the award, director Yorgos Lanthimos said the film wouldn’t exist without Stone, who was also a producer but was not on the Lido for the festival.
