If in the first shot we see the archetype of the feminine (the woman, as it has been portrayed for centuries, from the male point of view: rounded shapes with a newborn on her lap), Smoke Sauna deals with deconstructing this image of women, giving voice to songs and sighs, confessions and laments.

Restless and entertaining, #PovereCreature, dragging the viewer into a universe (or better, many universes) where the meat, the body, it lends itself to creation, come fosse una tela bianca Lanthimos continua il suo viaggio ai confini dell’assurdo, investigating with a distorted gaze, elegantly aestheticized by the use of the fish-eye lens (already a fetish for the director in The Favourite). Poor Creatures touches on many themes - suicide, the creation, loneliness, identity, domestic violence, the man-woman relationship… sex. And if we also recognize the director's touch, the real “brush” that colors, sets and silhouettes suggest us
