The new Yorgos Lanthimos black comedy Bugonia is in cinemas now, but what songs feature in the film? Find out below.
The movie stars two-time Oscar winner Emma Stone as a high-powered CEO who is kidnapped by two conspiracy theorists (Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis) who believe she is secretly an alien who wants to destroy the Earth.
It marks the fourth big screen collaboration between Stone and Lanthimos, after The Favourite, Poor Things and Kinds Of Kindness, and it is based on the 2003 South Korean film Save The Green Planet! by Jang Joon-hwan, with a new screenplay from Will Tracy (The Menu, Succession).
The film received its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in August and was released in US cinemas on October 24 and in the UK on October 31. Watch the trailer here:
The Stone character is forced to shave her head in the film and the look has become a major part of the film’s public profile, with one screening at the Culver Theatre in Los Angeles being reserved solely for bald people, or people willing to shave their heads for the occasion.
NME awarded the film four stars, writing: “While perhaps not as glorious as Lanthimos’ best, Bugonia’s shock and awe prompts a discussion about internet culture that hits worryingly close to home. It’s another win for his ongoing partnership with Stone, who may be abducting another Oscar in a few months’ time.”
Every song on the Bugonia soundtrack
The film sees Lanthimos enlist former Black Midi collaborator Jerskin Fendrix to compose an original soundtrack for a third time, after Poor Things and Kinds Of Kindness.
On top of that, it makes choice selections of needle drops, with Stone’s character at one point singing along to Chappell Roan’s megahit ‘Good Luck, Babe!’ in the car.
Elsewhere, Green Day’s 1994 classic ‘Basket Case’ makes an appearance, as does a version of Pete Seeger’s ‘Where Have All The Flowers Gone’ as sung by Marlene Dietrich.
