Nominated for 3 Golden Globes including Best Motion Picture–Musical or Comedy, Best Performance by a Female Actor in a Motion Picture–Musical or Comedy (Emma Stone), and Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Motion Picture–Musical or Comedy (Jesse Plemons)
Oscar-winning director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite, Poor Things) strikes again in another biting social satire with very long teeth. With a whip-smart screenplay by Will Tracy (The Menu, Succession) and Jang Joon-hwan (based on his film Save the Green Planet!), and starring Emma Stone as a high-powered CEO and Jesse Plemons as one of a pair of conspiracy-obsessed young men who kidnap her, convinced she is an alien intent on destroying the Earth, the stage is set for a completely bonkers black comedy that finds Lanthimos’ muses Stone and Plemons at the top of their game.
“The characters might be demented, but Bugonia is a crueller, funnier, sharper proposition, more grounded and gritty than the wigged-out weirdness of the film on which it is based.” — Wendy Ide, Observer (UK)
“Lanthimos’ hand is steady as he spins us deeper into chaos, always withholding just enough to keep us questioning what’s real.” — Maxwell Rabb, The Chicago Reader
