"Are you bald, or willing to shave your head? reads the event posting. On Monday, 10/20, head to [the Culver Theater] for a FREE advanced screening of Bugonia the new @focusfeatures fever dream from Yorgos Lanthimos. Anyone with hair but eager for both a free ticket and a gratis haircut should arrive after 6pm, when a barber will be present to shave it all off. The cinema adds: This is real. And yes, part of it will be filmed. Hopefuls need to RSVP, as there is limited availability, and they need to be over 18."
"The first shower when you've shaved your head? Oh my God, it's amazing. Stone went on to make a distinction between her own decision to cut her hair for the film, and the experience of her mother, Krista, who lost her hair while being treated for breast cancer in 2008. She actually did something brave, said Stone. I'm just shaving my head."
"Bugonia was given an R rating in the US by the Motion Picture Association. The latest collaboration between Lanthimos and Stone, following The Favourite in 2018, Poor Things in 2023, and Kinds of Kindness in 2024, has won warm notices from festival screenings."
A Culver Theater screening on Monday, 10/20, will offer free advanced tickets to anyone already bald or willing to have their head shaved in the foyer, with a barber available after 6pm and limited spots requiring RSVP and attendees over 18. The promotion honors Emma Stone's character in Bugonia, a kidnapped pharmaceutical CEO whose hair is shaved by conspiracy theorists. Bugonia, directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, earned an R rating in the US and has received warm festival notices. Stone described the exhilaration of shaving her head while distinguishing her choice from her mother's cancer-related hair loss.
