What is "Bugonia" Actually Trying to Say?
The film seems like an extreme interpretation of the conspiracy theorists that exist in real life. And then, there’s the twist.

Casey has been living alone in his quiet home until a young couple moved in. Due to his extreme sensitivity to noise, he struggles to live with others and needs to find a way to make them leave. Desperate to reclaim his peace, Casey is determined to restore his solitude, though he knows it will require a difficult sacrifice. His desire for a peaceful life outweighs the challenges he must face to regain it.

This film is based off of The Diary of a Young Girl, which was written during the Holocaust period.
If you've watched 'Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles', you are either someone who believes “nothing happens” in this three and half-hour film or you’re like me who believes everything happens.
“And I think to myself….what a wonderful world”. Louis Armstrong sang about this notion via his classic 1967 song, an ode to witnessing elements of our life that should be but some reminders of exactly what that concluding line of each verse indicates. Now we see our contemporary realities and, just being honest, it makes a sentiment like this seem SO overtly far away….perhaps even impossible….to accept or believe could be. It sounds harsh, but again, so much of what is occurring speaks not to beauty, but bedlam.

In addition to the cast being delightfully diverse this time around, the film was just loosely-plotted and action-packed enough to keep a casual fan like myself entertained. While I do agree that the writing of Cole left much to be desired for an original character thrust into a preconceived universe, none of the characters seemed particularly fleshed out in terms of personality; however, I think that's to be expected when you're watching a film literally inspired by a video game.
