Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia is a bizarrely elegant cocktail of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia.
The film features Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone.
The premise is both absurd and eerily plausible: a deluded beekeeper kidnaps Michelle Fuller, the CEO of a pesticide empire he believes is an alien plot.
What unfolds is part torture thriller, part philosophical chess match, and part tragicomic fable about who’s really destroying the planet.
Author's summary: Bugonia is a satirical film about corporate and eco issues.
