UK • d: Yorgos Lanthimos • R • 118m
One might be surprised that Yorgos Lanthimos’s latest is a remake (adapted from the 2003 Korean classic Save the Green Planet!)— the film manages to be both prime Lanthimos and his most pointed examination of contemporary society. An obsessive conspiracy theorist and his cousin (a marvelous Jesse Plemons and striking newcomer Aidan Delbis) kidnap a slick, rich pharma executive (Emma Stone), insisting that she admit to being part of an alien species that’s been conducting experiments on humans. What unfolds is a battle of competing mythologies, as the pandering corporate exec and the wild-eyed, did-my-own-research loon go at it in extended sequences full of subtly shifting power dynamics. It’s Lanthimos’s most claustrophobic film, and perhaps the one most grounded in today’s realities. And it all concludes (no spoilers) with a series of shots that send the film spinning in a heartbreaking new direction.
