Bugonia Review: A Satirical Fury
Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia is a unique blend of corporate satire, eco-horror, and cosmic paranoia, featuring Emma Stone and Alicia Silverstone.
- Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
- Cast: Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Stavros Halkias, Alicia Silverstone
- Rating: ***1/2
The film is a reimagining of the 2003 Korean cult film Save the Green Planet!, with a premise that is both absurd and plausible: a beekeeper kidnaps the CEO of a pesticide empire, believing it to be an alien plot.
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 with a unique blend of genres.
