Bugonia (2025)

An in depth review, synopsis, and analysis of Bugonia (2025), featuring my sister Natasha! I gave it 3.5 stars; she gave it 4. We discuss our slightly different interpretations of the movie’s core themes, as well as the filmmaking techniques behind them, while having a bit of a giggly time. Natasha’s Greenpoint art studio where she graciously allows me to record: https://www.atelierdalal.com/ – check out her upcoming workshops if you’re in the NY area!
