Sean Baker Says His Next Film is, Again, About A Sex Worker

May 22, 2024 Jordan Ruimy

There’s just three more days to go at Cannes, some of the films left to be screened include Mohammad Rasoulof’s “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” Miguel Gomes’ “Grand Tour” and Michel Hazanavicius’ “Precious Cargoes.”

Yesterday, a Palme d’Or contender emerged in Sean Baker’s “Anora.” It’s one of the best reviewed films of the competition, along with Coralie Fargeat’s “The Substance” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Kinds of Kindness.” This morning’s press conference had Baker answering questions about the film and his constant tackling of sex workers.

More curiously, Baker said he perhaps won’t always make films about the subject, but teased that “we’re already talking about the next one and it involves a sex worker.”

So, we might get another Baker film very soon. “Anora” is a wonderful addition to a filmography that already included “Tangerine,” “The Florida Project” and “Red Rocket.” He’s one of the best U.S. directors working today, and “Anora” is the first of his films that is actually contending for the Palme d’Or. I’ll have more on that later today.
