Rhough for his opening scene is legendary, O BROTHER is worth a visit. Three prisoners, Everett, Pete and Delmar, escape, and fleeing through the fields of corn. Lulled by a folk music of the 1930s, one is struck by this display of colours and landscapes in the middle of which our three merry lads are […]
[CRITICAL] OKJA
Four years after Snowpiercer, Korean director Bong Joon-ho returns with Okja, but this time as a film minor too americanized.
