Emma Stone’s Apocalyptic Showdown Blooms in “Bugonia”

Emma Stone in "Bugonia": A New Apocalyptic Showdown

Emma Stone and director Yorgos Lanthimos have collaborated on several films, including "The Favourite" (2018), "Bleat" (2022), and "Poor Things" (2023), showcasing their darkly exuberant sense of risk.

In their latest film, "Bugonia", Stone and Jesse Plemons engage in physical and psychological battles, set against a backdrop of eco-paranoia.

Stone played a lusty widow who miraculously fucked her dead husband back to life in "Bleat" and incarnated the brain of a child, the body of a woman, and the skills of a mad surgeon in "Poor Things".

Their collaboration has been both hailed and reviled for its transgressive acts and sense of risk.

Author's summary: Emma Stone stars in Yorgos Lanthimos's new film "Bugonia".
