  • then you’ll find that Bugonia also has some heavy handed political themes and a lot of similar 1 to 1 drama. I felt like Bugonia was a very Nietszche movie: it talks about domination, taking control of situations, endless cycles of human suffering, hopeless utopias, the slave-master dialectic, genealogy of morals (literally they do talk about genealogy influencing morals). But I also get the sense that it doesn’t necessarily endorse that framework, because the situation that makes that framework apply is pretty ridiculous and is kinda played for laughs.

    Yep, I guess he nailed it down the substance of the original movie, Save the Green Planet, which he made Bugonia a remake of.
