Why the System Never Looks Guilty | Bugonia Video Essay

Over the past decade, Yorgos Lanthimos has directed six films, four of them nominated for Academy Awards. Within such an impressive body of work, Bugonia might seem like a minor entry.But I’ve always felt that this is precisely the one we shouldn’t ignore. Because what it reveals is a truth we prefer not to confront, the truth of a society that has lost its sense of meaning, drifting in quiet nihilism. In an age where conspiracy theories repeatedly turn out to be true, and where the line between fact and fabrication grows increasingly blurred, perhaps the real question is not who is lying, but whether we still possess the ability to think independently and judge critically. In this video, I draw on Hannah Arendt’s concept of “the banality of evil,” alongside Kafka’s The Trial, and the metaphor of collective consciousness and de-individualization in the TV series Pluribus, to re-examine the deeper meaning of the film. This is a video essay about Bugonia, but ultimately, it asks a larger question: How do we continue to think and remain human inside a system that constantly tempts us to stop thinking?
