In Yorgos Lanthimos' upcoming film, 'Bugonia', the narrative centers around Teddy, a beleaguered beekeeper who feels expendable working for CEO Michelle in a pharmaceutical company. Resentful of the disparity in their salaries, he begins to draw parallels between himself and the bees serving their queen, leading to delusions of an alien invasion. The film addresses themes of economic imbalance and mental health, illustrating the struggle of workers in contemporary society and the impact of their plight. Set to release in late October, it promises a timely exploration of these critical issues.
CEOs would be nothing without the labor of their (typically) underpaid employees, and the unfairness of that reality seems to be what's causing all the chaos in director Yorgos Lanthimos' upcoming film, Bugonia.
Teddy knows that he, like a beehive's drones, is expendable in the grand scheme of Michelle's plans as a CEO.
Though the trailer skews a little whimsical, it's fairly clear that Lanthimos and writer Will Tracy are telling a dark story about people pushed to the edge by economic inequality.
The movie also seems like it's going to touch on how people not having proper access to quality mental health care is a very real societal problem.
