Bugonia

  •   Yorgos Lanthimos
  •   U.K.

From visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos comes Bugonia, an explosive psychological thriller that offers a pitch-black comic window into our modern age of madness. Provocative and subversive, the film follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men as they burst out of their online rabbit holes and kidnap Michelle, a high-powered CEO they believe to be an alien who has come to destroy us. After the pair chain her in a basement and come face-to-face with the enemy, the two sides—the tinfoil-hat basement dwellers and the steely, soulless corporate executive—soon find themselves pitched in a battle as viscerally unpredictable as it is unexpectedly moving.

Anchored by powerhouse performances from Jesse Plemons, Emma Stone, and newcomer Aidan Delbis, along with a devilishly sharp script from Will Tracy, Lanthimos constructs an audaciously original portrait of what it means to laugh, cry, and recoil in the fate of humanity.
