Bugonia (CTC)

Oscar-nominated provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) reunites with stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons for the bold and absurdist sci-fi dark comedy-thriller, Bugonia.

The twisted social satire follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men who team up to abduct a high-powered American CEO, convinced she is an alien bent on destroying Earth. What unfolds is a darkly twisted journey that blurs the lines between paranoia, power, and survival.

Debuting to a lengthy standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film has been hailed as a "masterclass in directorial control", boldly challenging audiences both emotionally and intellectually.

Written by 'The Menu' co-writer Will Tracy, Bugonia is an English-language reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s acclaimed 2003 Korean cult classic, 'Save the Green Planet!' - now reinterpreted through Lanthimos’ uniquely off-kilter vision.
