Poor Things

Logline

A young woman, brought back to life by an unorthodox scientist, sets off on an adventure of self-invention.

The Unseen Narrative

Bella is not born into the world — she is born into its acoustics. We tuned her perception across five sonic continents, from the muffled amniotic bath of Godwin's house to the full-bandwidth assault of Lisbon and Paris.

Selected Frames
#001
Godwin's House

Hydraulics, a caged pelican, pipe-organ piano.

#002
Lisbon

Yellow trams, ceramic cutlery, sunlight on cobblestone.

#003
The Ship

Wooden groans in slow harmonic decay.

#004
Paris

Dialogue shelf-lined with footfall and rain.

Acoustic Breakdown

The film is built from these components. Each stem below is a narrative thread — the work is in how they are woven, and where they are withheld.

Bella's early hearing is engineered as if heard through bone and water. Low-pass filters, narrowed stereo image, and custom tube saturation render the world before she can fully parse it.

Elements
  • LPF 2.4kHz
  • Mono-collapsed image
  • Amniotic diffusion
