Conspiracy obsessed beekeeper Teddy and his cousin Don are convinced that Michelle Fuller, the high-powered CEO of pharmaceutical company Auxiloth Corp., is secretly an alien intent on destroying Earth. Kidnapping her from her mansion, Teddy and Don hope to force Michelle to contact the alien overlord and make the world right again—but Michelle, insistent that she is human, refuses to give up easily.Inspired by the 2003 South Korean film Save the Green Planet! and featuring stellar performances from Emma Stone (Poor Things) and Jesse Plemons (Civil War), as well as Alicia Silverstone (Clueless) and newcomer Aidan Delbis, director Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, Kinds of Kindness) and writer Will Tracy (The Menu) create a chillingly tense, shockingly hilarious, and utterly incomparable thriller that twists and turns until the very end.
"Ultimately, though, Bugonia is about the impending apocalypse and the fact that, whether it comes through environmental catastrophe or civil war, it is likely entirely avoidable. It’s a serious message delivered in typically entertaining Lanthimos style and hammered home via a bravura climax which manages to be both gonzo and gut-wrenching in equal measure."—Nikki Baughan, Screen Daily.
