The highly anticipated new movie from Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite) - produced by Ireland’s Element Pictures - has its Irish premiere on the opening night of CIFF. Starring Emma Stone, Willem Dafoe and Mark Ruffalo, the story centres on a young woman brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist. Awards-season buzz is strong.
