Bugonia Review: A Satirical Fury
Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia is a unique blend of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia, characterized by his signature deadpan style.
The film features Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone, and is currently showing in theaters with a rating of ***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, believing it to be an alien plot to destroy humanity.
- Part torture thriller
- Part philosophical chess match
- Part tragicomic fable about environmental destruction and accountability
Author's summary: Bugonia is a satirical film that critiques corporate and environmental issues.
