Bunker review – Cruz and Bardem just can’t dig Florian Zeller’s shallow thriller out of a hole

The Venice film festival features Bunker, a thriller written and directed by Florian Zeller. The plot follows an architect, played by Javier Bardem, who alienates his editor wife, played by Penélope Cruz, after agreeing to construct a luxurious bunker for a tech billionaire. While some praise the acting chemistry between the real-life couple, others critique the film as shallow and unsatisfying, arguing that it lacks the authentic passion found in Zeller's previous works, The Father and The Son.
