If you\u2019re familiar with Jang Joon-hwan\u2019s Save the Green Planet!<\/em><\/a> (2003) (and you checked it out only recently, like some of us), there won\u2019t be any surprises for you in its remake, apart from the cosmetic ones. At its core, Bugonia<\/em> (Yorgos Lanthimos, 2025, 118′) is more or less the same film, only lacking the original\u2019s frenetic energy, and filtered through the prism of Lanthimos\u2019 weird\u2014 but here, somewhat restrained\u2014sensibility, with certain details and plot points subjected to minor changes. Its greatest forte lies in Jerskin Fendrix\u2019 imposingly foreboding score, and its tight symbiosis with Robbie Ryan\u2019s crisp cinematography which beautifully captures the meticulousness of James Price\u2019s production design. Also of note are three central performances, from Emma Stone (regular in the director\u2019s recent works<\/a>), Jesse Plemons, and (autistic) newcomer Aidan Delbis, their off-kilter chemistry complementing the darkly humorous mood in an \u2018acquired taste\u2019 way. As for Lanthimos himself, one gets the impression that an announced hiatus from filmmaking won\u2019t hurt, because Bugonia<\/em> is too strained for its own good…<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
