Yorgos Lanthimos returns with 'Bugonia', a dark, funny, and deeply unsettling remix of conspiracy culture, starring Emma Stone as a pharma CEO and Jesse Plemons as the true believer who kidnaps her because he’s convinced she’s an alien. We break down the film’s unnerving tone, Lanthimos’ needle-drop choices, and how this English language remake of the 2003 Korean cult classic 'Save the Green Planet!' reframes paranoia for 2025. 

In this non-spoiler review, we dig into performances (Stone/Plemons are electric), the morality maze at the story’s core, and whether the Venice buzz and Focus Features’ rollout are a sign this one will stick with general audiences or just live rent-free in our nightmares. We also compare Bugonia to Lanthimos’ recent collaborations with Stone and talk about what this says about where his career is headed next.
