Bugonia (2025) directed by Yorgos Lanthimos. What the hell, Yorgos? This film is dumb and unnecessarily cruel. There is a low-grade tension that churns beneath the surface of the entire film, similar to Uncut Gems, which makes it an unpleasant experience. I love most of the Lanthimos oeuvre, but I was glad when this was over. I think part of the problem is that the "satire" is too close to our current cultural situation to really work as satire. The black humor is all black and no humor, almost nihilistic. No thank you.
Viewed at Tacoma's Grand Cinema.
