Bugonia Review: Emma Stone & Alicia Silverstone's Film Buzzes With Satirical Fury
Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia is a bizarrely elegant cocktail of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia.
The film features Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.
The premise is both absurd and eerily plausible: a deluded beekeeper, Teddy, kidnaps Michelle Fuller, the CEO of a pesticide empire he believes is an alien plot to annihilate humankind.
What unfolds is part torture thriller, part philosophical chess match, and part tragicomic fable about who’s really destroying the planet.
It transports the original’s feverish energy into our age of internet-fuelled delusion.
Author's summary: Yorgos Lanthimos's film is a satirical cocktail.
