Bugonia (18)
Springing from the extraordinary mind of director, Yorgos Lanthimos stars Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis and Alicia Silverstone and Emma Stone and is garlanded with awards nominations.
Emma Stone plays a cold and heartless CEO who is kidnapped and accused of being an alien in this dark and schlocky class-warfare thriller. An English language remake of the 2003 South Korean film 'Save the Green Planet!, Bugonia's pitch-black comedy dives into the world of conspiracy theories.
It's director Lanthimos’ best film in years, featuring all of the technical prowess and world-class performances you'd expect from one of his movies and overflowing with rich ideas.
This is a movie with a lot to say, all of it smart and important. It’s a challenging, creative work of art that hums at its own unique frequency, blending dark comedy, horror, and drama to make something wholly new.
At its core is a painful, complicated tale about life, existence, trauma, capitalism, conspiracies, family, purpose, and modern life. All of which are in deep conversation with one another. The result is a stunning, beautiful, sad film.
Awash with BAFTA and Oscar nominations, and part of our Oscars Season.
