Combining combines cinematic genres in stark contrasts to create a vision that is wildly and uniquely his own, Yorgos Lanthimos’ BUGONIA (2025) was honored with an AFI AWARD, recognizing it as one of the year’s most outstanding achievements in the art of the moving image. According to the official rationale, “BUGONIA shatters the concept of ‘reality’ in a cinematic experience unlike any other. Yorgos Lanthimos’ vision is wildly and uniquely his own – blending genres with a sleight of hand that proves explosive when worlds collide. The clash of wills between Emma Stone and Jesse Plemons is a masterclass in the art of acting – demanding audiences question point of view and asking us to consider our world long after we leave the theater.
