Emma Stone’s Apocalyptic Showdown Blooms in “Bugonia”
In Yorgos Lanthimos’s film, ripe with eco-paranoia, the actress and Jesse Plemons come to physical and psychological blows.
The first picture Emma Stone made with the director Yorgos Lanthimos was “The Favourite” (2018), a splendidly wicked royal romp, with a curiously prophetic title.
Stone and Lanthimos have since worked together several times, and their collaboration, a mutual-favoritism society, has been hailed and sometimes reviled for its darkly exuberant sense of risk.
In “Bleat” (2022), a deviation from Lanthimos norms—it was short, black-and-white, and dialogue-free—Stone played a lusty widow who miraculously fucked her dead husband back to life.
More transgressive acts of sex and resuscitation awaited in “Poor Things” (2023), in which Stone incarnated the brain of a child, the body of a woman, and the skills of a mad surgeon.
The world was her playpen, her boudoir, and her operating theatre.
