Yorgos Lanthimos's latest cinematic masterpiece, Bugonia, has finally hit home theaters, and it's a game-changer. The movie follows Emma Stone as a CEO who finds herself kidnapped by two men – Jesse Plemons and Aidan Delbis – because they believe she's an alien. Sounds far-fetched? That's exactly the point, thanks to Lanthimos's unique vision.
But what truly sets Bugonia apart is its incredible score, composed by Jerskin Fendrix. This is not your average film music; it's a wild ride that seamlessly switches between sci-fi space opera and 1970s paranoia thriller vibes. The result is a manic soundtrack that will leave you breathless.
What's behind this unconventional approach? Lanthimos himself revealed that he didn't want Fendrix to read the script beforehand, instead giving him just three keywords: "bees," "basement," and "spaceship." This hands-off approach allowed Fendrix to bring his unique creative vision to the table. The result is a score that's both out-of-this-world and deeply unsettling.
In an interview with io9, Lanthimos discussed his working relationship with Fendrix, saying he wanted the music to juxtapose the claustrophobic feel of the film with its contained space aspect. He also revealed that he didn't want Fendrix to read the script this time around, instead giving him more creative freedom.
The end result is a score that's both bombastic and beautiful, perfectly capturing the off-kilter tone of Bugonia. If you haven't seen the film yet, now's the perfect time to experience it – it's one of the best movies of the year.
Bugonia is now available to rent or buy digitally, so what are you waiting for? Get ready to enter a world that's truly out of this world.

. I mean, who needs clarity or transparency in governance? Just throw some buzzwords at 'em like Lanthimos did with Fendrix, and voilà! Instant creative freedom 
.
. I think that's what our politicians need to do more often: distill their policies down to their essence. No more fancy language or jargon 
. Just straight-up, unvarnished truth. That's how we'll ever get to the bottom of things.
I mean, I've seen some creepy movie scenes in my time, but this one takes the cake – or should I say, the spaceship 
?
. I think Bugonia sounds like a total mess. The idea that Emma Stone's character is kidnapped by two dudes because they think she's an alien just seems like a lazy plot device. And what's up with the score? Bees, basement, and spaceship? Sounds like a random combination of keywords to me 
. Anyway, I'll stick with my usual cinematic fare, thanks! 
they're literally insane - all sorts of crazy flavors like matcha and strawberry basil... i swear, i had like 3 in one sitting 
anyway, back to bugonia - i've seen it like twice now, and i'm still trying to wrap my head around that score 
jerskin fendrix is a genius or something! 
what a genius move by Lanthimos to keep Fendrix in the dark about the script, too - i mean, you can tell the music is exactly what it needs to be, without any unnecessary extra baggage. has anyone else seen Bugonia yet? 
. jerskin fendrix's score is literally the perfect accompaniment to the film - it's so trippy and unsettling at times, but also super catchy 
. i need to know more about their working relationship tho... like, did fendrix even read the script beforehand?

. still, i guess the score is pretty fire 
, jerskin fendrix outdid himself this time around. anyone else gonna give bugonia a shot? 
btw i love how they played with the tone in that film... so dark, yet kinda trippy and hilarious all at once 
the score by jerskin fendrix is literally genius it's like they took all these different vibes and mashed them together into something completely new and crazy but in a good way 
️ overall, bugonia is a game-changer for movie music and cinema in general 
just watched bugonia and i'm still reeling from that score 
. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go watch Bugonia ASAP 
. It's like the score is this wild ride that takes you on a journey, not just in the film, but in your head too 
. Overall, Bugonia is definitely one of those movies that'll stay with you long after it ends... 
. I love how Lanthimos took a risk with the unconventional approach, it really adds to the film's weirdness. It's like a fever dream come true... in a good way 
. The way the music switches between sci-fi and paranoia vibes is so on point, it's like Fendrix was given free rein to create something truly unique
