Film recommendation: Bugonia

I watched Bugonia (from director Yorgos Lanthimos) blind tonight, and I highly recommend it. The film is centred on a broken man who loses himself in conspiracy theories to cope with his tragic circumstances, but it’s also so much more than that. It features outstanding performances by Jesse Plemons and Emma Stone, as well an absolutely kidney shredding score.

Looking up the film for this post and I see it was nominated for Best Picture this year. I’m not surprised. Definitely a great watch, having known nothing about the film going in beyond the one sentence description.

Bugonia is available to stream on Amazon Prime in Canada and probably elsewhere.
