Emma Stone’s Apocalyptic Showdown Blooms in “Bugonia”

Emma Stone in "Bugonia": A New Collaboration with Yorgos Lanthimos

Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos have worked together on several films, including "The Favourite" (2018), "Bleat" (2022), and "Poor Things" (2023), showcasing their mutual-favoritism society and darkly exuberant sense of risk.

In their latest collaboration, "Bugonia", Stone and Jesse Plemons engage in a physical and psychological showdown, set against a backdrop of eco-paranoia.

Stone played a lusty widow who miraculously fucked her dead husband back to life in "Bleat" (2022), and incarnated the brain of a child, the body of a woman, and the skills of a mad surgeon in "Poor Things" (2023).

Their collaboration has been hailed and sometimes reviled for its bold and transgressive acts.

Author's summary: Emma Stone stars in Yorgos Lanthimos's new film "Bugonia".
