Movie Club Cinephile Preview Brisbane: Bugonia

Oscar-nominated provocateur Yorgos Lanthimos (Poor Things, The Favourite) reunites with stars Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons for the audacious and absurdist sci-fi dark comedy-thriller, Bugonia. See it first at our Movie Club Cinephile Preview with discounted tickets for members!

The twisted social satire follows two conspiracy-obsessed young men (Plemons and rising newcomer Aidan Delbis) who team up to abduct a high-powered American CEO (Stone), convinced she is an alien bent on destroying Earth. What unfolds is a darkly twisted journey that blurs the lines between paranoia, power, and survival.

Debuting to a lengthy standing ovation at the Venice Film Festival, the film has been hailed as a "masterclass in directorial control", boldly challenging audiences both emotionally and intellectually.

With a delightfully unhinged script from The Menu co-writer Will Tracy, Bugonia is an English-language reimagining of Jang Joon-hwan’s acclaimed 2003 Korean cult classic, 'Save the Green Planet!' - now reinterpreted through Lanthimos’ uniquely off-kilter vision.
