Yorgos Mavropsaridis, born November 21, 1954, in Athens, Greece, is a Greek film editor known for his collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos. A London Film School graduate, he began editing commercials, where he met Lanthimos at a Greek advertising agency. Mavropsaridis has edited all of Lanthimos’ films, including Dogtooth (2009), The Lobster (2015), The Killing of a Sacred Deer (2017), The Favourite (2018), and Poor Things (2023). His minimal-cut editing style enhances narrative flow. He won a 2019 European Film Award for The Favourite and received Oscar nominations for Best Film Editing for The Favourite (2019) and Poor Things (2024). With over 70 projects, including Kinetta (2005), he is introverted, drawn to editing’s solitary nature. Lanthimos tried to replace him but couldn’t, as Mavropsaridis is integral to his vision, editing his work since their advertising days in Greece.
Remake of the Abbott And Costello Jack And The Beanstalk Comedy in 2000. Eloise Larkin and her fiancé Arthur's plans to attend the rehearsal of a play are jeopardized because no one will babysit her obnoxious kid brother Donald. Eloise phones the Cosman Employment Agency, where Mr. Dinkle and Jack just happen to be seeking work. Jack flirts with Cosman employee Polly, but he is thwarted by the arrival of her boyfriend, a towering police officer. Polly sends Dinkle and Jack to babysit, but an attempt to lull the boy to sleep by reading the fairy tale Jack and the Beanstalk (Jack's "favorite novel") aloud fails when Jack stumbles over the larger words. Bemused by Jack, Donald reads the story instead — a role-reversal made complete when Jack falls asleep as Donald reads. In his slumber, Jack dreams that he is the young Jack of the fairy tale.
