About BFI LFF 2025: Bugonia

Jesse Plemons is outstanding as a conspiracy-obsessed paranoiac who, with the help of his brother, kidnaps a powerful CEO (Emma Stone), believing she is an alien intent on destroying Earth. An inspired take on Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 South Korean satire Save the Green Planet!, Lanthimos’ madcap and uncompromising vision doesn’t disappoint, as events unfold with surprising, sometimes shocking, results.

Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.

Priority booking for Supporters' Circle members will open on 10 September 2025 at 10am. General Admission tickets will go on sale on 16 September 2025 at 10am.
