Begonia, Yorgos Lanthimos, 2025

Two conspiracy obsessed young men kidnap the high-powered CEO of a major company, convinced that she is an alien intent on destroying planetĀ Earth.

I found this film particularly interesting because of its approach to depict the criticism of humanity. Through this film, I explored and gave more thought to themes such as corruption, exploitation and ecological collapse – all of which contribute to the world’s lack of ability to live as a healthy, functional global community. While working on motion project “Who Are We”, I wanted to research communities and the ways which can help us save the world from man-made crises such as climate change. This film was a useful reference for identifying faults of humanity that blocks us from creating a genuine, cohesive humanity.
