Bugonia

After the radical films made in his homeland, Yorgos Lanthimos appears in recent years to be more and more careful to open up to the general public and 'Bugonia', a film we did not like at all, unlike the Academy voters who included it in the ten nominees for the title of the year, is no exception. At the centre of the plot are two young men with a conspiracy obsession who kidnap the powerful CEO of a large company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planet Earth. The basis is the Korean film 'Save the Green Planet', of which Lanthimos signs a remake with the same narrative structure but with his typical brand of style, overblown and self-satisfied. Almost impossible for it to take home any statuettes.
