Yorgos Lanthimos movies aren’t exactly the easiest films to describe. Don’t believe me? Try to write a simple one sentence synopsis for The Favourite, Poor Things, or Kinds of Kindness. Sure, you might (might) be able to soooort of explain the plot. But anyone who loves his films knows that won’t mean you captured anything about the actual experience of watching one. That certainly seems to be the case or his next hard-to-explain movie. He’s once again teamed up with Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons for Bugonia, whose first trailer feels like a weird sci-fi horror movie got mixed up with an arthouse comedy about class.
Oh yeah, that’s the full Lanthimos right there. Bugonia‘s official synopsis belies just how weird (in the best way) this movie looks and feels. Here’s how Focus Features describes it:
Two conspiracy obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth.
Obviously that doesn’t come close to conveying the surreal tone and vibe of this first trailer. And based on his past films, especially his most recent, Kinds of Kindness which also starred Stone and Plemons, the actual movie will likely be even weirder than it looks.
Sure, those two men might be conspiracy obsessed weirdos, but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong. Maybe be that famous lady really is an alien. In fact, we’re already starting to wonder if she is. In fairness to Emma Stone’s character, though, Jesse Plemons kind of looks like he’s playing an alien in this movie. Hmm…..
Bugonia also stars Aidan Delbis, Stavros Halkias, and Alicia Silverstone. Will Tracy (The Menu) wrote the script. It buzzes into theaters for a special limited engagement starting on October 24. It will then sneak its way everywhere on October 31.
