Directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, 'Bugonia' also features actors Stavros Halkias and Alicia Silverstone. It is a remake of South Korean filmmaker Jang Joon-hwan's 'Save the Green Planet!'

The film was recently premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it received a rousing 6-minute, 50-second standing ovation, as stated by Deadline.

Lanthimos along with the lead stars Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Aidan Delbis graced the festival on Thursday. Lanthimos and Stone have collaborated on multiple projects, including Oscar-winning 'Poor Things,' 'Kind of Kindness' and 'The Favourite'.

Meanwhile, 'Bugonia' will be released on October 31.
