Presented in association with Borderlines Film Festival

Yorgos Lanthimos mixes satire, sci-fi and twisted comedy as Emma Stone, playing Michelle Fuller, CEO of pharmaceutical giant Auxolith, is kidnapped by conspiracy theorist and beekeeper Teddy Gatz (Jesse Plemons) and his autistic cousin Don. Teddy, whose mum has been rendered comatose in an Auxolith clinical trial, believes that Michelle is the leader of a malign alien species. Head shaved, Michelle is detained in Teddy’s basement for interrogation. Outstanding acting by Stone and Plemons creates a tense, unpredictable kidnap scenario in which control and identity, villain and hero are constantly interchangeable.
