Bugonia Review: Yorgos Lanthimos' Sharp, Surreal Stinger
Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons star in a thriller about abduction, alienation, and apiculture. The film, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, features a backyard apiary of bees that plays a significant role in the story.
The movie introduces us to Teddy Gatz, a conspiracy theorist and amateur beekeeper, played by Jesse Plemons, who lives with his young, neurodivergent cousin, Don. Teddy's life is marked by menial work and obsessive theory development, involving Andromedan aliens.
Consider “Chekhov’s Bees.” 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.
Author's summary: Yorgos Lanthimos' Bugonia is a surreal thriller.
