Big ideas on what threatens planet

HIGH-flying chief executive Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone) seems to have it all as the powerhouse of a large company. However, when conspiracy theorists, beekeeper Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons) and his cousin Don (Aidan Delbis), deem her responsible for destruction of the Earth’s bio-habitats, they decide she must be an alien from another planet and resolve to kidnap her.

Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, the black comedy Bugonia (15), out today at the Regal Picturehouse in Boroma Way, Henley, poses many questions on both sides of the equation.
