Emma Stone’s Apocalyptic Showdown Blooms in “Bugonia”
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 "Bleat", Stone played a lusty widow who miraculously brought her dead husband back to life, while in "Poor Things", she incarnated a complex character with the brain of a child, the body of a woman, and the skills of a mad surgeon.
The world was her playpen, her boudoir, and her operating theatre.
Their latest collaboration, "Bugonia", is ripe with eco-paranoia, featuring Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons in a physical and psychological showdown.
