A celebration of weird and wonderful Korean cinema. Jude Chun’s absurdist sci-fi Unidentified and Park Syeyoung’s beautifully bizarre body horror The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra.
Alongside recent Korean commercial hits there’s a wave of extraordinary indie fantasy features. In the marvellously eccentric Unidentified, UFOs have been hovering over major cities since 1993. Have extraterrestrials silently infiltrated Seoul since then? That might explain why everyone from office workers to fortune tellers is behaving very strangely. Alien nation or alienation? In The Fifth Thoracic Vertebra (Best Director, Audience Award, Bucheon 2022), a fungus that feeds on human spines attaches itself to a mattress. This outré horror takes us to provocative and unexpectedly touching places as the mattress moves from owner to owner and the creature inside begins to grow. Strange bedfellows, indeed.Buy one ticket to see two freaky features back to back.
