Bugonia Review: A Satirical Fury
Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia is a unique blend of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia, presented in his signature deadpan style.
The film features Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone, and is currently playing in theaters, rated ***1/2.
A reimagining of the 2003 Korean cult film Save the Green Planet!, it transports the original’s feverish energy into our age of internet-fuelled delusion.
- The story follows a deluded beekeeper, Teddy (Jesse Plemons), who kidnaps Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), the CEO of a pesticide empire.
- Teddy believes the empire is an alien plot to annihilate humankind, leading to a thrilling and philosophical exploration of accountability and destruction of the planet.
