00:00you ever get that feeling like something big is coming not loud not obvious but quiet creeping
00:07and just weird enough that it makes the hairs on your arms stand up that's the vibe i got the
00:12second i read the synopsis for bugonia and let me tell you right now this movie it's not gonna be
00:17what you expect not even close okay so picture this two guys kinda paranoid conspiracy junkies
00:26like tinfoil hat level and they think this powerful ceo yeah we're talking emma stone isn't human
00:32not metaphorically literally an alien so what do they do they kidnap her just like that boom no
00:41turning back now pause for a second and really sit with that not just the plot but the feeling it
00:47gives you there's something offbeat off kilter it's like you stepped into a world that looks almost
00:52normal but nothing works like it's supposed to that's classic yorgos lontemus if you've seen
00:58the lobster the favorite poor things or kinds of kindness then you know you know this man doesn't
01:03make movies he builds dream worlds that buy and now he's back with bugonia let's break it down
01:10first emma stone let's just take a moment to talk about her she's not just acting anymore
01:16she's building something with yorgos they've done four movies together now four that's not
01:22just collaboration that's trust that's a shared vision it's like they found this weird wonderful
01:28creative language and we're just lucky enough to get to watch it play out in bugonia she's playing
01:33this ceo but not just any boss lady she's got power presence danger the kind of character who walks
01:41into a room and makes you question your own reality and then we've got jesse plemons oh my god jesse
01:48if you've seen black mirror or fargo or even kinds of kindness you know the guy can do unsettling like
01:53nobody else he's not loud he doesn't shout but somehow when he's on screen it feels like something
02:00bad is about to happen and you can't look away that energy that's exactly what bugonia needs because
02:06this movie it's not just sci-fi it's not just a thriller it's a psychological maze you ever have
02:13a dream where nothing's quite right like the people look familiar but they talk in riddles
02:18the buildings are the same but the sky is wrong that's how yorgos makes movies feel he takes the
02:24absurd and treats it completely normal like yeah sure your wife turned into a dog want some tea and
02:31you're sitting there like wait what bugonia takes that to a whole new level let me break it down for you
02:37two guys obsessed with conspiracies they kidnap a ceo because they think she's an alien
02:43she might be or she might not be but the world starts bending in ways that make you question
02:48everything now let's be real for a second how many of us have felt that vibe before like you're living
02:54in a system you don't trust like you're being watched controlled fed lies bugonia leans into that
03:00paranoia but instead of saying don't worry it's just in your head it looks you dead in the eye and goes
03:06what if you're right and that that hits hard because we've all had those moments sitting in
03:12traffic staring at a screen clocking into a job we hate wondering if this is all just fake like maybe
03:20the world's been designed to keep us small quiet obedient and then bugonia walks in and whispers
03:26she's not one of us and suddenly you're listening the beauty of yorgos lontemus is that he never tells
03:32you how to feel he just builds the world and lets you drown in it every frame is like a painting
03:38every line of dialogue is just a little too calm too precise it's unsettling but in a delicious way
03:44and look i gotta talk about the rest of the cast too we've got stavros halkius yes the comedian
03:50bringing in this raw chaotic energy alicia silverstone is back which is so full circle if you remember her
03:57from the killing of a sacred deer and then aiden delby's making his feature film debut fresh blood
04:03that's always exciting new faces in weird worlds that's how you keep cinema alive now here's what
04:09you need to know about the release bugonia is dropping in the u.s on october 24th in a limited release
04:15and then it expands wide on halloween which let's be honest is perfect this isn't jump scare horror
04:21but it is horror it's the horror of being unsure the horror of doubt of watching something that
04:27feels too close to real but also too weird to explain the uk's getting it on october 31st too
04:33so don't worry no one's getting left behind and behind the scenes oh yeah it's stacked we've got
04:40focus features running the show cj enm element pictures fruit tree pith square peg all backing it
04:48and the producers absolute legends emma stone herself is producing ari aster too yeah hereditary
04:54and midsummer ari aster that tells you everything you need to know this isn't some throwaway movie
05:00this is a statement and let's not forget yorgos maverpsaritas editing he's cut every lanthimas film
05:06since forever he knows the rhythm he knows the pauses he knows how to make your heart skip a beat with
05:12just a single cut and robbie ryan is back as cinematographer if you've seen the favorite
05:18you know how he plays with light with shadow with space it's gonna be stunning now i know
05:24some people are still trying to figure out what kinds of kindness even meant it was weird it was dark
05:30it didn't care if you liked it that's the risk yorgos takes he never plays it safe he doesn't make
05:36crowd pleasers he makes truth bombs even when they come wrapped in absurdity and i respect that i crave
05:43that because let's be honest so many movies today they feel safe predictable paint by numbers you sit
05:51down and 10 minutes and you already know how it ends bogonia you won't know anything you'll question
05:58what's real who to trust maybe even yourself and that that's what cinema is supposed to do let me ask you
06:05something when was the last time a movie messed with your head in a good way not just shocked you
06:10but made you rethink your life your job your phone the way you walk down the street the way you see
06:16people that's what this movie is aiming for not to entertain you to shake you and you know what we need
06:23that because right now the world is loud angry divided everyone's yelling everyone's selling something
06:31but yorgos he whispers and somehow you hear it louder than everything else and here's the thing
06:38bugonia isn't just about aliens or ceos or conspiracy nuts it's about us it's about how we want to believe
06:45there's more going on than meets the eye because the alternative that everything is exactly what it
06:50seems that's terrifying in a whole different way so if you've ever felt like the world is lying to you
06:56if you've ever looked at someone in power and thought there's no way that person's human if
07:00you've ever questioned your reality even for a second bugonia is the movie for you and i need you
07:06to be ready because when this movie drops it's not gonna go viral with flashy trailers or celebrity
07:12interviews it's gonna spread like a secret a whisper a quiet strange little voice saying something's
07:18wrong and the people who get it they'll know they'll feel it that's why you need to be first
07:24be early be the one who tells your friends trust me watch this it's weird but it'll change the way
07:31you think because this isn't just a movie it's a signal a glitch a moment of clarity in a world
07:37that's forgotten how to look beneath the surface so if you've made it this far you're already part
07:42of the inner circle you see what others don't you feel the tension you crave something deeper
07:48something real and i want you in this community this space this tribe of thinkers and feelers and
