Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone are reunited for a fourth time (following The Favourite, Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness) in this gripping, darkly funny and satirical environmental comedy-thriller.
Jesse Plemons is outstanding as a conspiracy-obsessed paranoiac who, with the help of his brother, kidnaps a powerful CEO, believing she is an alien intent on destroying Earth. An inspired take on Jang Joon-hwan’s 2003 South Korean satire Save the Green Planet!, Lanthimos’ madcap and uncompromising vision doesn’t disappoint, as events unfold with surprising, sometimes shocking, results.
Presented as part of the 69th BFI London Film Festival in partnership with American Express.
