Bugonia Review: Yorgos Lanthimos' Sharp, Surreal Stinger
Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons star in a wickedly funny thriller about abduction, alienation, and apiculture.
The film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, features a backyard apiary of bees that becomes a key element in the story.
If a backyard apiary of bees is introduced at the beginning of the movie, the bees will be whipped into a frenzy by the film’s end, terrorizing some poor character.
The movie follows Teddy Gatz, a conspiracy theorist and amateur beekeeper, played by Jesse Plemons, and his young cousin Don, played by Aidan Delbis.
Author's summary: Yorgos Lanthimos' new film is a surreal thriller.
- Director: Yorgos Lanthimos
- Starring: Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, Aidan Delbis
