Meeting Sex Workers in Anora now watching the Academy Awards Awards success

If Luna Sofia Miranda approaches Sean Baker in a New York Strip Club in 2022, he tried to be the best he was beautiful.

But he is “clearly unwilling to buy a lap dance,” he said.

Miranda, who was 23 years old, began asking why he and his wife were there.

“I’m nosy,” he said. “So I kept asking them and finally got it from them. They made a film about strippers.”

He told them he was studying moving, and – after a successful audition – gets his 24th birthday, to offer him a part of the film.

Such film, anora, now found one of the frontrunners heading to Oscars on Sunday.

It guided Baker, and stars Mikey Madison, for the best actress for his role as a New York Stripper.

Madison, 25, depends on the true strippers in life to help him fully part.

When he won an award at Bafta Film In the past month, he dedicated it to the community of sex workers.

“I met with some community by my film research, and that was one of the most incredible parts of film making,” he told us backstage.

They are “worthy of respect and not always get it. And so I have to say,” he added.

We talked to actresses, strippers and film dancers about their work experiences this – and their thoughts on the finished product.

Some praises realistic film, especially to describe the rejection and fatigue that sexual workers often feel. But some said the film is “limited”.

At first edee theedyo is not sure if you join the film.

The 21-year-old, which is British and shows Harry Potter who spin-off beautiful animals as a child, now living in New York where he was a student and a stripper.

He got a background dancer at the anora after an agent at the throw he found at the club where he worked. But Turquet says the night before filming, he debate doesn’t show up.

“I don’t want to be part of a bad stripper film, or whatever makes an objection to our industry, so I’m afraid,” he told me.

“Most films about strippers are excessive over aestheticised, or bad and exploit.”

Elie points out 2020 zola film, about a waitress to go to Florida for a week stripping for easy money. “I saw this hyperbolic, perfect overtime in the work, and the women say,” he said.

“And don’t start me with a beautiful woman, who is sad, especially the idea of ​​a street worker played by Julia Roberts. Come.” Come.

But if Thriquet knew Anora was a movie of Sean Baker, he changed his mind.

“His films are based on realism, he has a fly-on-the-wall style of filmmaking, which I love,” he said. “So I went down.”

The baker’s self-embossing skills are also attracted to Lindsey Normington in the film. The stars of the actress and stripper as Diamond, the enemy of the Anora area.

He said he saw him in the afterparty for a film premiere, and went to him to tell him that he was a fan.

They were connected to Instagram, and months ago, he was contacted talking to him that he had a paper for him in a new film. “I knelt down my house,” Norsington said.

In the film, the anora was offered a chance to a fairytale to escape when he met and dropped for a rich Russian.

Miranda, an actress and stripper playing with Lulu, Anora’s best friend, saying that he respected Madison sound from a true sex worker from New York.

“I have shared a PDF language terms and slang that strippers only from New York understand,” he said.

One of the words “whales”, which, explained by Miranda, “a customer like a deepening pit of money. He will make your night.”

Movie joining is Kennady Schneider, a Los Angeles-based stripper and choreographer who trains Madison to dance.

He said Madison installed a pillar of his house in LA, and the pair began to work on his “sexy rutine”.

“He puts a lot of work,” Schneider, 28, said. “He is very determined.”

Miranda says many movie themes, sadness and rejection, relacable to him.

“Sometimes I feel like this shiny toy, who wants people to play. They go, ‘Wow like a stripper. And then they just rejected you,” he left you, “he left you.

“I think about the end of many because I feel a lot of Anora.”

Turquet agrees, calling the last “extremely good manner and attractive”, adding it accurately describes “fatigue and fatigue” strippers.

“The sex industry has a trauma built in it. It feels real. It is a unique industry that is weak,” he said.

“You put yourself at risk every time you go to work. It’s a complex and tired work.”

But in general, he said there were a mixed feelings about the film.

“What are many stripper films to miss – and what Anora started but not enough – is the moral question of men who buy sex,” he said.

“This is the authorization question. Most films are faded from answering it, or look at it.”

He said it also fails him that these characters “never arrive outside their profession”.

“(Anora) is a relatively limited character,” he said. “We never learn anything about him. The film takes the sight of (men leading) Igor and Vanya, to describe who he is.”

“Better than any movie I’ve seen about it, but in the end it’s limited as not saying a sex worker,” he added. “I can’t wait until we say our own stories and hope it opens the door to that.”

For Normington, the film shows “the security and competition and jealousy” which he personally experienced in the clubs.

“I appreciate it not trying to be a quintessential stripper movie.”

For Schneededede, this is the film description of the world’s world’s attitude hits a chord.

In the first movie scenes, we saw the job anora, talking to club clients.

We also saw him and the other strippers at a lunch break, eating from Tupperware boxes in a back room.

“It feels accurate,” Schneider said.

“More time in (stripper) film, with glamorization, with money falling from the ceiling. These moments occurred but they were small in,” he said in the middle, “he said.” He said. “

In Anora’s exit, special screenings are made for New York and LA sex workers.

Footage surrounded by social media The strippers shown to beat their high pillarmafors who killed shoes in their heads, to show their appreciation at the end of the screenings.

“That’s the most beautiful applause I have received, I don’t know if that happens again,” Madison told us.

Now, all eyes are in the Oscars.

Miranda and Normington both attend. “It’s kind of thinking I’m going to Oscars, but (at the same time) I’m at the club who argues with a crazy man over $ 20,” Miranda said.

“I feel like I live two lives.”

He said Madison was “Spot” to tell the community of sex workers could not get respect, and said that Anora’s success will change it.

“My hope is that if this film wins an oscar, it marks the start of Hollywood transition, where the workers are respected, as well as hobbies,” he said so.

“If this film wins an oscar, I want to see that.”
