Emma Stone is the new Carol Burnett /Rehana Sultan. This cultural mix of self-deprecating femininity and sexual awakening comes to us at a price. Not too long ago women talking about the pleasures of the vagina were considered sluts.
In Jeo Baby’s clutter-clearing The Great Indian Kitchen Nimisha Sajayan’s husband couldn’t stop sniggering when she suggest some foreplay in their sex.
Three years later , here she is , Emma Stone as the child-woman openly enjoying the pleasures of self-stimulation and recommending to a 70-year old woman on a cruise, a vaginal voyage, if you will. Imagine Sridevi in Sadma with an over-healthy sexual appetite, a curiosity to explore the world with as much enthusiasm as her body.
In that description we can capture some of what Emma Stone has achieved so spectacularly in Poor Things. With the mind of a child Bella Baxter is a restless child-woman in Victorian England whose vaginal craving is getting out of hand, literally.
The hand is just not enough to quench that voracious appetite.
As played by the stupendous Emma Stone Bella is a creature of appetites. When she first has sex , she describes it as “furious jumping”, an activity she takes to like a fish to water. She just can’t have enough of it.Bella’s appetite is whorish in its voraciousness. But she refuses to be slut-shamed,at a time when slut-shaming was prevalent but not labelled as such, Bella ploughs her way through numerous sexcapades .
Emma Stone deserves the Oscar ….errr, hands-down.
Not that she had any formidable competition. Sorry,Ladies. But Annette Bening in Nyad, Lily Gladstone in Killers Of The Flower Moon , Sandra Huller in Anatomy Of A Fall, and Carey Mulligan in Maestro are no competition to Emma’s epic epicurean performance.
As for ‘Best Actor’ Cillian Murphy, Oppenheimer is not open to discussion. Christopher Nolan’s cinema is like the exotic cuisine from a remote country which everyone must expressly admire, because …well, because it’s the right thing to do.
Never mind if Colman Domingo in Rustin and Paul Giamatti in The Holdovers were far superior.
And yes, Mark Ruffalo trying to cope with Emma Stone’s insatiable appetite in Poor Things deserved to be honoured.
