HOPE(Hopeu)
Dir: Na Hong-jin
South Korea, 2026, Korean, 160mins, DCP
Cast: Hwang Jung-min, Zo In-sung, Hoyeon, Michael Fassbender, Alicia Vikander
When a mysterious monster wreaks havoc in a rural town, its police force’s attempt to track it leads them down a long trail of blood and mayhem. Meanwhile, a pack of hunters navigate the surrounding woods to uncover the truth, only to find themselves becoming the monster’s prey. The most expensive Korean film ever made, Na Hong-jin’s sensational and relentlessly paced follow-up to The Wailing is a creature feature elevated to a sci-fi mind-bender of cosmic proportions. Opening with a breathtaking 45-minute chase and refusing to let up until its remarkable conclusion, Na’s extraordinarily ambitious thriller may have divided critics in Cannes, but it’s impossible to deny that this is top-notch entertainment by a mad genius and controlled cinematic chaos at its best.
