Emma Stone’s Apocalyptic Showdown Blooms in “Bugonia”

Emma Stone in "Bugonia": An Apocalyptic Showdown

Emma Stone's collaboration with director Yorgos Lanthimos continues in "Bugonia", a film ripe with eco-paranoia, where she and Jesse Plemons engage in physical and psychological battles.

Stone and Lanthimos have worked together on several projects, including "The Favourite" (2018), "Bleat" (2022), and "Poor Things" (2023), showcasing their darkly exuberant sense of risk.

In "Bleat", Stone played a widow who brings her dead husband back to life, while in "Poor Things", she portrayed 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.

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