POOR THINGS (2023) Behind-the-Scenes Production Design

[@isatangel]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the soundtrack as well? It's a perfect marriage to the movie

[@angososono]

it's the best

It was so delightfully weird. I LOVED it!!

Mozart? Ja

[@rc_1477]

Absolutely!

This film was a feast for the eyes. Beautiful production design.

[@johanf9279]

Also the music.

[@MTaye7]

Yes, her production design is nice.

[@BBBJOT]

a changeable feast

[@dionsmith2405]

One of the best looking films I’ve seen in years! Set designers, costume designers and production team all deserve a raise and an Oscar nomination at the very least.

[@jamesogilvie8494]

and they won Oscars for these things!

[@yoel6604]

this is wild.. you don’t realize how much goes into a 2 hour film.. the guts to put the amount of money and detail one does into a film .. a piece of art, simply.. is beyond something I understand.. grateful for brave people who take risks for art and sharing a story. something that could easily be stuffed down or ignored as ‘irrelevant. not relatable. dumb idea, etc’ .. the cost to make art, stick it out and share it, is something I wanna recognize.. cause this feels like it was riskier than other films . the overall plot and play-out of it.

[@nomadben]

This movie had the best set design I've ever seen. Incredible work they did

[@thegame6141]

Ohh really?

[@Alexiismoon]

This movie was made with LOVE. Not a lot of movies are done like that nowadays, specially since you have new shows and movies every week in streaming platforms, it’s like fast fashion but in cinema.

[@xelamercedes]

The production design is mind blowing. For its scale, its whimsy, its detail.....the set is so intricate it is as though it too has lines to speak. I want to watch this film over and over -- my eyes love what is happening.

[@impopquiz]

Wow, I get gothic, Gaudi, baroque styles mixed abit with Wes Anderson colors = a feast for the eyes! ❤

[@luca_hc_gruber]

Jugendstil has definitely also played a big influence as well

[@briankuhnmusic]

Looks exactly like the games from Amanita Design! You should check them out especially Machinarium and Botanicula

[@marcokrueger3399]

I totally get those Gaudi vibes, I wonder why no one else has mentioned it yet (except you)

[@mattseaton3521]

No way, I fastforwarded in the last part, because it was too boring and far too long.

[@russthicc]

They should repurpose the set as an interactive museum located in Vegas or something that would be amazing

[@tiffsaver]

I was really surprised to see how much of the movie was actually real, practical sets. When most filmmakers would have gone 100% CGI, Lanthimos decided to go "old school," and that's what makes this picture so special. This film willl become a modern day classic, trust me.

[@markardisson2791]

there's still a lot of cgi, you just dont see it because it's well executed

[@tiffsaver]

@@markardisson2791 I could easily detect it. But many of the big structures like houses, etc.,. were actually physicially constructed, as in this video. Lots of the backgrounds, like sea and sky, were CGI, along with the animals.

[@markardisson2791]

@@tiffsaver yeah correct, check out the Union VFX breakdown if you havent already, they end up adding a lot of cg environment to the sets. It's common practice in film to replace sets when they dont work out also.

[@motulifelikefigures1987]

Those sets are stunning! I asked myself about the shooting locations during the movie cause i couldn't believe they could build such huge art deco Sets.

[@deividyreis1292]

The film is a masterpiece, the story of ''creation" right on top of our humanity, a child growing, a woman discovering herself, man pretending to be in a dominant position while he is completely head over hills for her, totally dominated emotionally, terrified of loosing her... i mean this movie is incredible, well deserved of so many awards, I dream of u=one day be able to contribute as an actor on a project like that.

[@paulolima6407]

This movie deserves the Oscar for best production design. I would be shocked if any of the other 4 movies won. This is a slam dunk for Poor Things. It's miles ahead of the other 4.

[@tiffsaver]

I particularly like the way the DP used wide angle lens to create so many incredible moods in this film. The more I watch it, the more things I find to enjoy. A masterpiece.

[@ДаниярТуляганов]

i love everything about this movie: Emma, Yorgos, Music, Costumes, Production and so on>>>>

[@paulklee5790]

So very very pleased to learn this was all a practical set! The picture is so visually stunning and inventive that you think… ‘this has to be digital’ but no, they built it will love and hard work…bless them!

[@jimbim4405]

There's only one word to describe this work: STUNNING!!!

[@voyance4elle]

I could watch behind the scemes material of this movie for hours...

[@joelvasquezvillanueva4997]

This movie is amazing! It deserves so much love

[@dani-ol5xb]

It really is like a dream that you can’t explain. I’ve had dream landscapes like this it’s so cool to see them make them on sound stages. These people are so incredibly artistic

[@nataliachinchilla9021]

This movie is sooooo beautiful that it takes you back to the age of fairy tales. But not because it feels old but because it feels pure. So funny, they nominated for an oscar to best film, ‘cause in some risky bussiness it will win, it’s only too little for a movie that will be copied, quote and hopefully understood in the next 20 years to come. Master piece

[@Orbitinbloom19018]

You can feel all the hard work put im

[@gostraighthrough]

A brilliant director in Giorgos Lanthimos, working with the top people of this industry brings this amazing result.

[@Jachiludesign]

I can recognize a lot of Gaudí art details! I love him!! Beautiful work friends! 😘

Seeing this footage gives me the same feeling as when you go 'out of bounds' in a video game. That moment when the illusion slips.

[@burn8216]

They should put the décors in a studio people could visit

[@gabeg.3643]

Far and away THE BEST production design of any film for quite some time. It was almost too much to take in on first viewing. Now, what I want to know is: What happens to all of this once the film is done? (I feel like if they'd had an auction for so many of the pieces created for this film, they could have made a fortune.)

[@Califdml45]

What a treat it would be to tour these sets. Would definitely buy a ticket!

I bought the DVD, and it had zero extra features despite this sort of behind-the-scenes footage existing. It used to be expected that there would be featurettes like this included on the disc.

[@John_Zatanna]

[@lndigobunting]

I haven't yet seen the film, but looking forward to it. That said, I have to ask: How is it that such beautiful buildings and public spaces - and all those intricate interiors - be built, only to be used for one film and then, I assume, be taken down? I lived in Hollywood, California back in the 90s/early 2000s, when I was in my 20s, and was neighbors with an artist on movie sets. She invited me to her workplace where she was working as a sculptor on Tim Burton's "Planet of the Apes" where she was carving huge chunks of styrofoam to create cave walls. When my 25 year old self saw the extent of waste - the huge amount of environmental nightmare Styrofoam bits and dust, I was like - what a travesty this all is. My thoughts were: a. How is all this effort and money going into building elaborate sets that will just be dismantled in a few months or a year, when there are so many houseless people? When you live in LA, you see the whole spectrum of insanely ostentatious displays of wealth, to the homeless camps on Skid Row - and now being all over the city. b. The waste! All that Styrofoam and everything else...where does it go? The amount of trash that can't be recycled - does anyone care about this? c. The health impact of breathing in that Styrofoam dust. Sure, she was wearing a respirator...but that's not going to protect someone from all the toxic fumes and dust particles that linger around. So yeah, I was going to go to the set artist mentor this neighbor told me would give me all I needed to get into "the industry" as an artist, but when I considered all of this, I said, no way. (I'm 50 now, and wish I weren't such an idealistic and opinionated 20 something, because working on film sets surely looks like a fun, rewarding career - but I really couldn't get past these issues at the time. Allllll that being said, my question is: Why couldn't this magical little place be built in a way that it didn't need to be taken down? Why is so much modern architecture so ugly? (Look into brutalism in architecture.) But yeah, we could obviously be building town squares and buildings and ll of it like we did in centuries past - as we can see it all survived - but for some reason, choose not to. I really wish this gorgeous magical set could have been built to exist permanently.

[@briankuhnmusic]

Am I the only one who noticed everything about this movie screams AMANITA DESIGN? I loved everything about it

[@lauristonplaceeh3]

I'd heard about the big awards for this movie, but also some dissenting views from other sources. So I was kind of nervous when I recommended to some pals (who were also aware of the mixed opinions), that we watch it together. Result: we all loved its ingeniously crazy story, its hilarious moments, and the (no spoilers) ending. Best of all, to double my pleasure, in the credits I saw the name of a dear friend, a brilliant scenographer, designer and art director that I'd had the privilege of working with in Budapest and Geneva, the fabulous Mr. Gergely Fodor!

[@jamielancaster01]

This movie was Art

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

It's all practical sets and miniatures. So that's why it is so visually beautiful. How the movie looks is what made me want to go and see it in the first place. This retrofuturism and Antonio Gaudi inspired buildings is so good I thought that maybe somewhere in Paris there are a few weird buildings like that, that I didn't see as a tourist. It's all believable but very unique at the same time. The rest of the movie was great too. One of the most unique and artistic movies I have seen that were made less than 20 years ago. It beats Dennis Villeneuve's Dune for me, and I like Dune.

[@marcob4630]

Gaudì ?? No way: only kitschy stuff

[@AnthonyGibbsRTA]

actually actually actually the most insane thing I’ve ever seen

[@krzysztofczarnecki8238]

It's nowhere near The Holy Mountain by Alejandro Jodorowsky in terms of craziness (viewer discretion recommended, but a really interesting and unique movie if you aren't immediately put off). Poor Things also feels very artistic and different though. It does actually feel like something at all, which is more than could be said about most new movies that I have seen. It deserves more Oscars but was unlucky enough to come out the same year Oppenheimer did, which is also a really good movie worthy of several Oscars.
