Emma Stone and Yorgos Lanthimos reteam for another mind-bending black comedy hit, this time about a kidnapped CEO suspected of being an alien.
Struggling with a diminishing environment, beekeeper Teddy decides to kidnap the head of a pharmaceutical company that poisoned his mother. Believing she is part of a higher force bent on destroying Earth, he will sink to any level to stop her – but the outside world and his own deep-rooted demons do not help his chances. Adapting the 2003 South Korean cult film Save the Green Planet!, Lanthimos applies his cold, brilliant eye for human irregularities to a small, uncomfortable, but relentlessly gripping story. With all-too-convincing performances from Stone and Plemons and an astonishing finale, it was nominated for the Golden Lion at Venice this year. Mysteriously, it was shot in High Wycombe.
