The film 'Poor Things' has been noted for its surreal sets, including 'squishy' floors, and a house that encapsulates a mad scientist's imagination. The production design, seen through Bella Baxter's eyes, allowed for an inventive use of materials. Shona Heath, the production designer, told IndieWire that they were not inhibited in their creativity, much like Bella's character. The film has been nominated for six London Critics' Circle Film Awards, including Film of the Year and Director of the Year. 'Rye Lane' also received nominations, with Vivian Oparah up for Breakthrough Performer of the Year. Other Breakthrough British/Irish Filmmaker nominees include Raine Allen Miller, Sam H Freeman & Ng Choon Ping, Molly Manning Walker, Nida Manzoor, and Charlotte Regan. Additionally, 'Poor Things' has been a topic of intrigue, with one commentator expressing anticipation for the film and another quoting the making of the film as a bewildering experience with the phrase, ‘What Am I Doing?’

“It had to be through [Bella’s] eyes,” #PoorThings production designer Shona Heath told IndieWire. “We can use plastics and we can use flying trams, we weren’t inhibited like she’s not inhibited. We were allowed to create our world at our fancy.” https://t.co/4YTwBcDxJI https://t.co/rCTAkWvWMJ
