Review: Bugonia
Yorgos Lanthimos's film, Bugonia, is a unique blend of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia, starring Emma Stone and Alicia Silverstone.
The movie tells the story of a deluded beekeeper, Teddy (Jesse Plemons), who kidnaps Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), the CEO of a pesticide empire, believing it to be an alien plot to destroy humanity.
What unfolds is part torture thriller, part philosophical chess match, and part tragicomic fable about who’s really destroying the planet, and why we insist on believing in aliens rather than accountability.
With a rating of ***1/2, Bugonia is a satirical commentary on our age of internet-fuelled delusion, reimagining the 2003 Korean cult film Save the Green Planet!
Author's summary: Bugonia is a satirical film with a unique blend of genres.
