Bugonia: A Satirical Dark Comedy
Yorgos Lanthimos' film, Bugonia, starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, is a thought-provoking movie that explores power, belief, trauma, and their interconnectedness.
The film is based on the Korean science fiction horror thriller, Save the Green Planet!, and feels extremely well-timed, highlighting a society where conspiracy supplants truth and corporations exploit the people they claim to serve.
Bugonia features standout performances, including Emma Stone as Michelle, a high-powered CEO, and Jesse Plemons as Teddy, a man tormented by personal trauma and delusion who becomes convinced that Michelle is an alien infiltrating humanity for nefarious purposes.
The film marks Stone's fourth collaboration with Lanthimos, after notable works such as The Favourite, Poor Things, and Kinds of Kindness.
