His most recent film, <em>Poor Things<\/em>, won the Golden Lion for Best film at the 2023 Venice Film Festival. It was also nominated for 11 Academy Awards, including nominations for Lanthimos in Best Picture and Best Director, and won four Oscars including Best Actress for Emma Stone.

Writer Will Tracy saw the potential of the premise, and during the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, wrote a reimagining of the film that is contemporary and exciting. \u201cWe were locked-down, and I was probably losing my mind a little bit in this little apartment in Brooklyn,\u201d Tracy says. \u201cI wrote it in about three weeks, and I\u2019ve tried not to analyze it too much, but I\u2019m sure something in that atmosphere made its way into the script \u2013 that claustrophobic feeling that I don\u2019t think I would have been able to write if not in those circumstances.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actor Jesse Plemons had a great time with the story, as it takes audiences on a wild ride of emotions.&nbsp; \u201cThe tone of it is so wild and varying \u2014 it&#8217;s so funny and so tragic, and the way into these very big conversations is so left-field and unexpected,\u201d says Plemons. \u201cIt&#8217;s a really strange but honest portrait of the times we&#8217;re living in, how confusing and absurd it all is.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" data-attachment-id=\"66991\" data-permalink=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/entertainment\/movies-entertainment\/critically-lauded-filmmaker-yorgos-lanthimos-reunites-with-emma-stone-and-jesse-plemons-in-bugonia-a-story-of-paranoia-conspiracy-and-a-high-profile-kidnapping\/attachment\/image-4-22\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"1280,853\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"image (4)\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5-300x200.jpg\" data-large-file=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5-1024x682.jpg\" src=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-66991\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5-1024x682.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/www.teampcheng.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/image-4-5.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Emma Stone, in her fifth movie with Lanthimos, feels that <em>Bugonia\u2019s <\/em>unique tone could only come from someone as skilled with navigating complex stories as him. &nbsp; &nbsp; \u201cIt has that sort of microcosmic quality,\u201d says Stone, who produced the film with Lanthimos in their fifth project together. \u201cThere\u2019s a sort of insanity and a commentary in the midst of a really small environment, which I think Yorgos tends to be drawn to. We&#8217;re in a basement, and it\u2019s really just people talking to each other a lot of the time, having perspectives that feel maybe incorrect or twisted. But they reveal these different versions of humanity and what can happen in a downward spiral of convincing yourself of something.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lanthimos believes that <em>Bugonia<\/em> would greatly benefit a theater viewing, as the audience would benefit from the shared experience of reacting to the unfolding story. \u201cMost films should be enjoyed like that, in a cinema with other people. It\u2019s a communal experience, but especially this film, the way it&#8217;s filmed on VistaVision, a beautiful format, and the sound design that Johnnie Burn has done, along with Jerskin Fendrix\u2019s score,\u201d Lanthimos says. \u201cIt&#8217;s just a very full and dramatic experience, both in its hilarity and its horror, that can only be experienced fully in a cinema.\u201d&nbsp;<br>A twisted journey awaits as <em>Bugonia<\/em> arrives in Philippine theaters on November 5.
