Bugonia Review (Yorgos Lanthimos) — Surreal Satire or His Strangest Film Yet?
Yorgos Lanthimos is back — and naturally, things get strange.
In this episode of Oh Brother Podcast, we dive into Bugonia, the newest film from the director of Poor Things, The Favourite, and The Lobster. From its unsettling performances and dark humor to its themes of love, identity, and emotional detachment, we unpack what Lanthimos is really saying beneath the absurdity.
Did it work for us… or is this style finally wearing thin?
We break down:
- Performances and character dynamics
- The film’s symbolism and meaning
- Where Begonia ranks among Lanthimos’ movies
- Our honest reactions (spoiler-free first, then full spoilers)
If you like arthouse cinema, uncomfortable satire, or movies that leave you arguing afterward — this one’s for you.
