- 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 deluded beekeeper kidnaps the CEO of a pesticide empire, believing it to be an alien plot.
The premise is both absurd and eerily plausible: a deluded beekeeper, Teddy, kidnaps Michelle Fuller, the sleek CEO of a pesticide empire he believes is an alien plot to annihilate humankind.
The movie unfolds as a torture thriller, philosophical chess match, and tragicomic fable, questioning who's really destroying the planet and why we insist on believing in aliens rather than accountability.
Author's summary: Yorgos Lanthimos's Bugonia is a satirical film with a unique blend of genres.
