Get Ready for ‘Bugonia’ Screening—Go Bald to Attend!

URGENT UPDATE: A unique opportunity to see Yorgos Lanthimos’ absurdist comedy Bugonia is coming to Los Angeles! On Monday, October 20, 2023, at 8 PM, the Culver Theater will host an exclusive screening—but there’s a twist: attendees must be bald or willing to shave their heads to gain entry.

This unconventional promotion mirrors a past gimmick for The Long Walk and is designed to create buzz around the film. If you arrive with hair, a barber will be available on-site starting at 6 PM to give you a buzz cut. This first-come, first-serve event aims to draw an audience eager to experience the film before its general release on Friday, October 24, 2023.

Focus Features is set to film parts of the screening for promotional content, adding an extra layer of excitement. The movie’s plot centers on pharmaceutical CEO Michelle, played by Emma Stone, who is kidnapped by conspiracy theorists Teddy (Jesse Plemons) and Don (Aidan Delbis). They believe she is an alien intent on destroying Earth, and during her captivity, they shave her head to prevent her from contacting her spacecraft.

Stone herself underwent the drastic change for the role, previously commenting on the liberating experience of going bald. This unique screening not only offers a chance to see Bugonia early but also promises to create a memorable atmosphere filled with humor and absurdity.

If you’re in Los Angeles and want to be part of this unforgettable night, prepare to lose your locks! For everyone else, mark your calendars for the official theatrical release of Bugonia on October 24, 2023. Don’t miss out—share this news with friends and get ready for a night of bald-headed fun!
