Bugonia: Yorgos Lanthimos, Emma Stone and the absurd sting of corporate greed

Let's unpack Bugonia, Yorgos Lanthimos’ latest darkly comic masterpiece starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. Part conspiracy thriller, part absurdist black comedy, Bugonia exposes the chaos of corporate power, climate anxiety and social paranoia through Lanthimos’ unmistakable lens.

You’ll hear:

Which Korean cult classic Bugonia reimagines.
Why Emma Stone’s performance feels hauntingly real.
Jesse Plemons’ award-worthy turn as a conspiracy theorist on the edge.
The deeper meaning behind the bees, the alien myth and our modern obsession with control.
Why this might be Lanthimos’ most accessible – and disturbing – film yet.

Whether you’re a long-time Yorgos Lanthimos fan or new to absurdist cinema, this no-spoiler review breaks down the artistry, emotion and hidden layers that make Bugonia 2025’s most talked-about release.
