To celebrate the release of Bugonia in Philippine cinemas, we revisited the four films featuring the collaboration of director Yorgos Lanthimos and actress Emma Stone, ranking them for your viewing pleasure.
Over the past seven years, Lanthimos and Stone have carved a distinctive niche in the Oscar landscape, with Lanthimos known for his signature blend of absurdity and darkness, and Stone as his talented collaborator. Their newest film, Bugonia, has already sparked Oscar buzz even before its wide release.
Bugonia: A Dark Comedy Anthology
Bugonia presents a unique triptych structure, dividing its narrative into three intertwined stories:
- The first follows a man, played by Jesse Plemons, whose life is controlled by his boss and lover, portrayed by Willem Dafoe.
- The second story again features Plemons, this time as a police officer whose wife, played by Emma Stone, disappears at sea and returns as a seemingly different woman.
- The final segment depicts Plemons and Stone as members of a cult, with Dafoe and Hong Chau leading them.
"Bugonia has already entered the Oscar conversation long before its opening date."
This latest collaboration continues to showcase the unique creative synergy between Lanthimos and Stone, blending dark humor with thought-provoking narratives.
Summary: Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone’s four films together highlight their distinct blend of dark, absurd storytelling, culminating in the intriguing anthology Bugonia.
