We take a deep dive into Seoul's Han River with Bong Joon-ho's The Host 괴물 (2006) this week: we talk sea monkeys, trumpet etiquette and fake weather. This film really resonates with a mid-COVID19 world: there's empty streets, a militarised response to disaster and little thought given to the ecological consequences of human actions. Plus, Bong works in themes of racism, family, imperialism, class and food, making The Host perennially relevant.
