IN A BASEMENT NO ONE CAN HEAR YOU SCREAM
In 2003, the same year as Oldboy and Memories of Murder, Korean cinema welcomed its most audacious debut: Jang Joon-hwan’s delirious Save the Green Planet! Manic yet focused, outrageous yet grounded, this genre-defying smorgasbord was destined to become South Korea’s ultimate cult classic.
The world is in grave danger but no one seems to realise it. Thankfully, Byeong-gu (Shin Ha-kyun, Sympathy for Mr. Vengeance) is our salvation. To everyone else, Chairman Kang (Baek Yoon-sik, The President’s Last Bang) is a pillar of society, but Byeong-gu sees him for who he really is: an alien from the Andromedan galaxy. Byeong-gu’s only course of action is clear: kidnap the chairman and extract the truth via torture. With his tightrope-walking girlfriend by his side and city cops on his heels, he must use any means necessary to prove himself to the world and save us before it’s too late.
Boldly blending sci-fi, horror, comedy, procedural, and social commentary, Save the Green Planet! is a must to be seen on the big screen especially if you enjoyed Bugonia this year (as this is the original!)
All of our screenings are 18+ unless otherwise stated, and the film start time is as advertised above.
*Content Warnings: severe violence, explicit torture, and intense psychological horror. Graphic scenes of kidnapping, physical abuse, blood, and disturbing imagery, alongside scenes of drug use, sexual references, and moderate profanity.*
