Fong Kok Hoong F @RT29722865 Dec 30 The original source for Yorgos Lanthimos' BUGONIA is an exhausting genre-blender of campy comedy, torture chamber gore and tragic melodrama with an almost effective but clumsy commentary on the hopelessness of humanity beyond salvation.

(12,132 – 16 Dec 2025 – Claudio Carvalho) A couple of days ago I watched the great "Bugonia" and I wrote it is a strange but original movie. Now I need to rectify the information since "Bugonia" is not original but a remake of "Jigureul jikyeora!", a.k.a. "Save the Green Planet!" (2003). The latter is one of the most original movies ever made. It is amazing how South Korean screenwriters give lesson to Hollywood ones that rip off many of their films. My vote is eight.

See more Christian M @chriss17eu Dec 17 Few directors dare to play. 'Save the Green Planet' is the kind of cinema I value: bold, creative, and fully aware of its own cinematic language. It is an experiment that ultimately works, even if it never completely wins me over. While not my favorite within this style, it becomes more engaging in its second half. One of the film’s strongest elements is its cinematography. The visual approach, dominated by blue tones, can be tiring at times, yet it achieves a hypnotic effect. The performances are solid and functional, convincing enough to sustain a story that can feel confusing. The narrative asks for patience and attention, eventually explaining itself while still leaving room for interpretation. Editing and montage stand out through bold choices, though the film rarely keeps tension high. It may be predictable, but its confident direction and clear identity make it worthwhile. Imperfect and uneven, it will not appeal to everyone, it knows what it wants. See more Dennui S @dennui Dec 5 Wow, that was a wild ride. It got a bit long for me, but it was a good flick.

In such an over-the-top outlandish film like this, it's the human elements, the moral ambiguity, and the tragic reflection on cycles of violence and self destruction that stand out. However, without spoiling anything, I will say that my most pointed criticism of Green Planet is that the aforementioned subtleties are overshadowed--and perhaps weakened by--some late game twists that border on nihilism and are at best absurdist. An intended contrast for sure when there's such stark realities at play here, but a contrast that made the film's messages a little uneven. See more Read all reviews
