If you loved Poor Things, try Bugonia

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Bugonia has roughly 3.0× fewer votes than Poor Things — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, and they sit in Comedy / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Poor Things, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Bugonia is

December, an attic hums with static. Red desktop lamps glow on two pairs of dilated pupils. A woman in a tailored coat sits duct-taped to a folding chair, rolling her eyes while a handheld radio burps alien babble.
