This latest collaboration between director Yorgos Lanthimos and two-time Oscar® winner Emma Stone.
Bugonia follows two conspiracy obsessed young men (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) who kidnap the high-powered CEO (Emma Stone) of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.
Based on the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet!, this wickedly funny and wildly unpredictable comedy-thriller features terrific performances from both Stone and Oscar® nominee Jesse Plemons. In Bugonia, Lanthimos showcases a razor-sharp environmental satire whose message of existential anxiety has never felt more relevant.
