Jesse Plemons Says ‘Bugonia’ was “The Hardest Thing I’ve Ever Done”

Jesse Plemons is surprisingly energetic when I meet him on Sunday at the Telluride Film Festival. He’s just arrived for the weekend from Venice, Italy, where his film Bugonia had its world premiere. But the globehopping travel doesn’t seem to have affected him as much as I would have expected—though he admits it’s very surreal. “It’s a funny experience to take a boat to the airport in Venice and then take a [mountain] gondola later in the day,” he says.
