There's never been a better time to be a Yorgos Lanthimos fan. Since 2023's Oscar-winning Poor Things, we've been treated to a new release every year, the latest of which is Bugonia. The conspiracy theory drama premiered this week at Venice Film Festival to a perfect Rotten Tomatoes score, and stars Emma Stone as a CEO who may or may not be an alien.
However, before we get another dose of Lanthimos' deadpan, surreal exploration of human nature, I think it's worth going back in time to one of the director's earlier movies. 16 years back, in fact. 2009's Dogtooth wasn't Yorgos Lanthimos' debut feature film, but it's certainly the movie that put him on the map – and one that set the stage, thematically and stylistically, for what was to come in later hits like The Lobster, The Favourite, and Poor Things. Now, the movie is getting a new lease of life in UK cinemas with a re-release courtesy of Vertigo Releasing.
