Listen "Bugonia"
Episode Synopsis
Having been a fan of what Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone brought to the screen with last year’s brilliant 'Poor Things', I was eager to see what their next collaboration would deliver. Enter 'Bugonia'.This wonderfully strange black comedy delves deep into themes of truth and reality, anchored by outstanding performances from Stone and Jesse Plemons. It's a simple premise; conspiracy theorist kidnaps CEO as he believes she's an alien, but its one that is executed terrifically through Lanthimos' vision and style. The real intrigue and drama lies in watching these two strong-minded characters clash over their opposing ideologies - it’s an unpredictable battle that's a fascinating watch throughout. Though it is certainly a slower 'slow burner', the pay off is absolutely worth it for the films wild third act that only goes the way you would expect a Lanthimos release to do so.Full thoughts in this review.
