Bugonia Review: A Satirical Fury
Yorgos Lanthimos's film Bugonia is a unique blend of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia, featuring 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.
Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the film features a talented cast, including Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.
Author's summary: Bugonia is a satirical film with a unique blend of genres.
