"If you want to live, run away. Otherwise..." Netflix has released a full-length trailer for their debut of the South Korean sci-fi film Space Sweepers, an epic spaceship comedic thriller from director Sung-hee Jo. We featured the original international trailers a few months ago, and the US teaser trailer just a few weeks ago as well. Set in 2092, Space Sweepers tells the story of a crew on board of the spaceship called "Victory", trying to escape the destruction of Earth - and make some money while at it salvaging space debris. After successfully snatching a crashed space shuttle in the latest debris chase, Victory's crew find a 7-year-old girl inside. They realize that she's the humanlike robot wanted by Uts Space Guards, and decide to demand ransom. Starring Song Joong-Ki, Kim Tae-Ri, Jin Sun-Kyu, and Yoo Hae-Jin. I'm so looking forward to watching this! Don't care if it's cheesy or dumb,...

A few years ago, Vancouver International Film Festival programmer Tony Rayns, well known as an authority on emerging Asian cinema, brought to Vancouver Sung-Hee Jo and his spectacular full length feature debut End of Animal. A minimalist and evocative tale of the apocalypse, Jo's movie knocked my socks off and I've been keeping an eye open for the director's follow-up film in hopes of a repeat success. [Continued ...]...

End Of Animal Review [Sfiff]
I'd like to avoid terms like post-apocalyptic when describing Sung-Hee Jo's End of Animal. But it's necessary. Please do not conjure images of 2012, The Day After Tomorrow, or anything by by Roland Emmerich. It's much closer to the almost-great movie The Road by John Hillcoat, in that there is no emphasis on the how or why. But more on the immediate and up close and personal effects it would have on a group of individuals. This is a healthy reminder to anyone that were something like to happen say, here in America, would it really matter who did it, when, and why--the Chinese or the Russians? Not really. It's this nearly clinical standpoint of the film that keep its message and atmosphere timeless, avoiding avenues that might make it more culturally relevant to South Korea (the film's origin), and less so to any other group of viewers.
