NEED TO KNOW
GET UP TO SPEED ON… BUGONIA
IT SEES YORGOS LANTHIMOS TACKLE SCIENCE-FICTION
The Greek provocateur is taking his trademark treacle-black comedy into the realm of aliens and cover-ups.
Based largely on the 2003 South Korean sci-fi comedy Save The Green Planet!, Bugonia will follow two conspiracyobsessed men who kidnap the CEO of a major company as they are convinced she is an alien hellbent on destroying Earth. The jury’s out on whether other aspects of the original film — killer bees, a tightrope walker, a weaponised exfoliator mitt — will make the cut.
