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, shaken with his trademark deadpan and served cold.
The film features Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone, and is rated ***1/2.
A reimagining of the 2003 Korean cult film Save the Green Planet!, Bugonia transports the original’s feverish energy into our age of internet-fuelled delusion.
The premise is both absurd and eerily plausible: a deluded beekeeper, Teddy (Jesse Plemons), kidnaps Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), the sleek 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, and why we insist on believing in aliens rather than accountability.
Author's summary: Bugonia is a satirical film that explores corporate and eco-horror themes.
