The trailer for Yorgos Lanthimos’ wild new ride, Bugonia, has landed, and it’s as bizarre, brilliant, and buzzworthy as you’d expect from the director behind Poor Things and The Favourite.
Lanthimos once again teams up with Dublin’s Element pictures and actress Emma Stone for this film about two conspiracy obsessed men who kidnap the CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. The trailer wastes no time plunging us into Lanthimos’ signature blend of off-kilter comedy and unsettling tension: bees swarm, paranoia reigns, and Stone’s Michelle calmly sips her coffee while chaos erupts around her. Is she an extraterrestrial mastermind or just really good at mind games? The trailer keeps us guessing, and we’re loving every second of it.
