"In that time, she says, they created the human race. But throughout evolution, her kind have watched on in disappointment as humans fought each other. Fuller, a high-ranking member of her race, has been on Earth conducting experiments, one of which involved Teddy's mother (Alicia Silverstone), in the hopes of elevating humans to a higher level of species. But it has not been successful."
"The "Bugonia" ending may seem dark, but Yorgos Lanthimos sees the opposite. The Oscar-nominated director known for "The Lobster," " The Favourite," and " Poor Things" offers another absurdist look at the human condition with his latest movie. But this time, there's also a stirring ending with apocalyptic ramifications. "Bugonia" stars Lanthimos muse Emma Stone as Michelle Fuller, a powerful pharma CEO who is abducted by two men who believe she is an alien."
Emma Stone portrays Michelle Fuller, a powerful pharmaceutical CEO abducted by two conspiracy-minded men who believe she is an alien. Teddy repeatedly interrogates and tortures Fuller, including shaving her head and subjecting her to painful tests, to force an admission. Fuller ultimately confesses that her species has been on Earth since the dinosaurs and engineered humans, but remained disappointed by human violence. Fuller reveals she conducted experiments, including on Teddy's mother, to try elevating humans; those experiments failed. Fuller announces her mothership will arrive during an upcoming lunar eclipse and offers Teddy a portal in her office closet, creating an impending apocalyptic confrontation.
