…a feverish mix of ecological panic and conspiratorial mania. It feels newly prophetic as it returns to the familiar nightmare of Jang Joon-hwan’s cult masterpiece, Save the Green Planet! (2003). In it, Joon-hwan asks: Why would anyone destroy the planet on purpose? No human would wreak such havoc willingly—only extraterrestrials would poison the Earth’s soil with such malice. Right? Joon-hwan’s movie is a delirious eco-satire that skewers late-stage capitalism. Lanthimos’s adaptation follows the life of a beekeeper named Teddy, played with unnerving precision by Jesse Plemons. Teddy lives alone in the Georgia countryside with his pliant cousin, Donny (Aidan Delbis). We meet them in the days before they plan to kidnap Michelle Fuller (Emma Stone), a powerful pharmaceutical CEO whom he believes is an alien from the Andromeda galaxy-Chicago Reader
