The Mind-Blowing Genre Hybrid of Save the Green Planet
This Weekend! Saturday, February 27th at MIDNIGHT!
Join Facets for a wild ride inside South Korean cult favorite, Save the Green Planet! Lecture, screening and post-screening discussion--only $5!!
One of the quintessential films of the South Korean New Wave, Jang Joon-Hwan's Save the Green Planet has earned an ever-expanding worldwide cult following its premiere in 2003. The story of a blue-collar worker convinced that his former boss is an alien intent on destroying the human race, this outrageous and provocative black comedy reflects political anxieties dating back to South Korea's pro-democracy protests in the 1980s while also serving as a prescient ecological fable on a more universal scale.
Filmmaker and scholar Michael Smith plays guide to this mind-blowing film in which every conceivable movie genre (from the serial killer thriller to sci-fi to kung fu and beyond) combines to produce a highly original work of art that explodes the bottle!
