Trailer
Why watch this film?
The Palme d'Or winning film from the 2019 Cannes Film Festival and Best Picture Oscar winner in 2020 is one that must be seen. Though the story takes place in South Korea, the social commentary on inequality in 'Gisaengchung' is as universal as it is masterfully presented by director Bong Joon-ho ('Okja'), aided by a cast whose performances are truly noteworthy. The South Korean filmmaker manages to draw us in with an electrifying and adrenaline-filled story that plays with all expectations of being a funny and acidly satirical social satire. All the unexpected twists and turns of the plot, as well as its shocking conclusion, make this a feature film that will have you thinking long after the credits roll. At the Golden Globes, it took home the gold in the Best Foreign Language Film category, as well as being nominated for Best Director and Best Screenplay.

From the same director
Okja
An extremely creative and emotional movie, that entertains while bringing up various questions about morality in the world of business, the consumption of animal protein and so on. The final result gains even more body with good action scenes, a passionate performance from the young Seo-Hyun Ahn and sprinkles of sharp humor.
The Host
This is the third feature film from South Korean director Bong Joon-ho (who would eventually achieve worldwide fame with films like 'Okja' and 'Parasite'), Superficially, 'Gwoemul' may sound like a common monster movie, but it's also a political satire set against an incident in 2000, in which a Korean mortician disposed of devastating amounts of formaldehyde on orders from the American military. In line with the best exponents of the subgenre, such as the original 1954 'Godzilla', this film is a more complex metaphor than it seems, with subtle touches of the eccentric humor that would mark his later filmography.
Snowpiercer
Based on the French comic book "Le Transperceneige," the movie features Chris Evans (from "Captain America: The First Avenger") as a hero in a class struggle. For those looking for sci-fi with action, humor, suspense, violence, and a strong critique of capitalism, they will find a feast in "Snowpiercer."
Thriller
Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey 2
Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 is the unlikely sequel to the feature film that placed the characters of this playful and childlike universe into a world of violence and horror. However, don't expect a production as weak as the previous film: with the success of the first installment at the box office, the production had more money to invest, and thus Winnie the Pooh: Blood and Honey 2 manages to be more realistic, violent, and impressive compared to the first film. The characters' masks are much scarier, and it ceases to be a complete joke. It's still difficult to take the film entirely seriously, especially with this bizarre premise of Pooh and his friends seeking bloody revenge, but you can already feel more fear and, above all, immerse yourself in the wave of violence that the film promotes. To have fun with friends.
