“How do you know I’m not an alien?” He asked Emma Stone to a journalist at the press conference of Bugonia. And then she surprised everyone saying that yes, she believes in aliens and that “it would be narcissistic to think that we are alone in the universe”. Aliens and plots are at the center of Bugoniathe new film by Yorgos Lanthimos presented in competition to Venice Film Festival. It is the fourth project together, after ** The favorite**, Poor creatures! And Kinds of Kindnessand the Stone-Valimos duo is now a genre in itself, the result of a special artistic encounter, free and always crazy (in this case ultra mad). A relationship that has something angular, almost sadomasochistic: Lanthimos Strapazza Emma Stone, pushes her beyond the limits, requires them radical transformations, and she relaunches with joy. In this case, the zero shave, it binds it to a bed, beats it, it massacres it psychologically.
Stone plays here a very powerful CEO that two conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) kidnaps convinced that it is a alien ready to destroy the planet. Lanthimos resumes and reinterprets Save the Green Planet!Korean film of worship of 2003, and transforms it into a black comedy that mixes paranoia, social satire and drama. At the center, once again, there is the body and presence of Emma Stone, hair shaved with zero, stiletto heels, glacial, enigmatic, very intelligent, manipulating. As Lanthimos said at the press conference, it is not that this film is so far from reality: of people who believe that there are alien elites that control us full of the world, and also our social feeds. The ending then brings in a different direction, but we cannot reveal anything, only to see that the film has divided the criticism, between those who found it not very convincing and those who exceptional. After all, there are no middle ground when it comes to Lanthimos: either you love or hate, take or leave. Here you love it, and therefore live madness. And alive Emma Stone who with Lanthimos found its size, the insecure port in which to give vent to her fantasies as an actress.
