URGENT UPDATE: A unique opportunity arises for film enthusiasts in Los Angeles! Bugonia, the highly anticipated absurdist comedy directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, is set for an exclusive screening on Monday, October 20, 2023, at 8 PM at the Culver Theater.
This is no ordinary preview, as the admission policy is both quirky and eye-catching: only those who are bald or willing to shave their heads can attend. The first-come, first-serve event encourages attendees to arrive with hair, but they must be ready to go bald at an on-site barber station starting at 6 PM. Those who dare to participate will not only experience the film before its official release but also become part of a promotional campaign, as Focus Features will film the event for marketing purposes.
Bugonia, inspired by the South Korean film Save the Green Planet!, features Emma Stone in the lead role as Michelle, a pharmaceutical CEO who is kidnapped by conspiracy theorists Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis). The plot thickens as they believe Michelle is an alien intent on destroying Earth, leading them to shave her head to prevent her from contacting her spaceship.
In a bold move, Stone has already gone bald for this role, previously stating that the experience was “pretty great.”
For those unable or unwilling to shave their heads, don’t worry—Bugonia will hit theaters nationwide on Friday, October 24, 2023, allowing everyone to view this eccentric tale with their hair intact.
Do not miss this chance to be part of an unforgettable cinematic experience! If you’re in LA and ready for a wild night, head to the Culver Theater this Monday—just remember, hair comers may need to bring their courage along with their tickets!
Stay tuned for more updates as we approach the screening date!
