Overview

  • The music video for “Beth’s Farm” premiered in late July with Emma Stone and Jerskin Fendrix under the direction of Yorgos Lanthimos.
  • It represents the sixth collaboration between Stone and Lanthimos, following projects such as The Favourite, Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness.
  • The video’s Kafkaesque plot follows a farmer’s ritual to restore transformed livestock with surreal imagery that underscores themes of loss, nostalgia and childhood memory.

  • The team’s creative momentum continues with Lanthimos’s forthcoming film Bugonia, which will premiere at the Venice Film Festival and open in theaters on October 24.
