Why we chose it

The South Korean film that inspired Yorgos Lanthimos to make Bugonia is a paranoid black comedy that masterfully blends different cinematic genres, centers on conspiracy theories and class struggle, and culminates in a modern tragedy driven by a sense of justice and the instinct for revenge.

Synopsis

Byung-Gu is convinced that all of Earth’s misfortunes are the work of aliens. He believes that unless he can find the prince from Andromeda before the total lunar eclipse, the planet will face total destruction. So he kidnaps the most likely suspect: the president and CEO of Yoojae Chemical Company. Can one man save the Earth before it’s too late?
