Jesse Plemons as Teddy Gatz indeed got my attention with their interactions and predicaments as the film progresses. The art film aesthetic of Yorgos gives its signature and makes it feel that it was different from the adapted film. The twists and dialogue are made impactful with the underlying social commentaries that we relate and react to.

Visionary director Yorgos Lanthimos, who helmed films such as Poor Things and The Favourite, returns to the big screen in Bugonia. The critically acclaimed director is inspired by the current state of society in his latest collaboration with actors Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons. “In the world that we live in now, people live in certain bubbles that have been enhanced by technology,” Lanthimos says. “Having certain ideas about people is reinforced depending on which bubble you live in, creating this big chasm between people. I wanted to challenge the viewer about the things that we're very certain about, the judgment calls that you make about certain kinds of people. It's a very interesting reflection of our society and the conflict in our contemporary world.”
