Film studio NEON announced this week that Anora, the Palme d’Or-winning film from acclaimed writer and director Sean Baker, is now available for digital purchase starting today, December 17th. This launch comes on the heels of Anora’s record-breaking theatrical success, earning the highest opening weekend per-screen average of 2024 and the second-highest PSA post-pandemic behind only Wes Anderson’s Asteroid City.
Sean Baker’s Palme d’Or winner ANORA is an audacious, thrilling, and comedic variation of a modern-day Cinderella story. Mikey Madison (Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood) captivates as Ani, a young sex worker from Brooklyn whose life takes an unexpected turn when she meets and impulsively marries Vanya, the impetuous son of a Russian billionaire.
However, when Vanya’s parents catch wind of the union, they send their henchmen to annul the marriage, setting off a wild chase through the streets of New York.
