Bugonia: A Darkly Funny Study of Humanity's Flaws
Yorgos Lanthimos' film "Bugonia", starring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons, is a darkly funny and unsettling study of humanity's stubborn flaws.
Director Yorgos Lanthimos continually questions his characters, and by extension, the human species as a whole, through his distinctly macabre filmography.
- His films, such as "The Lobster" and "The Killing of a Sacred Deer", feature disturbing tales of morality, twisting the knife on our preconceived notions.
- The off-kilter performances and absurd concepts are never so disconnected from reality that they can be excused as pure fantasy.
It's just another way of looking at things; once you take a step back, the error of our own ways is exposed in a deservedly uncomfortable light.
Author's summary: Yorgos Lanthimos' film "Bugonia" is a dark study of humanity's flaws.
