Bugonia (2025, 118 mins, cert 15)
Two conspiracy obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying Earth.
Step into the strange, darkly comic world of Bugonia — the latest mind-bending film from Oscar-nominated director Yorgos Lanthimos.
When two conspiracy-obsessed outsiders become convinced that a powerful corporate leader is not what she seems, their lives — and hers — spiral into an unsettling psychological game. Blending razor-sharp satire with off-kilter suspense, Bugonia explores paranoia, power, and the fragile line between delusion and belief in Lanthimos’s unmistakably surreal style.
Visually striking and wickedly funny, this daring genre-defying story has already sparked major awards conversation in the lead-up to the Oscars.
