Netflix have released a brand new look at their forthcoming Okja, a film that we caught, and indeed fell in love with at this year’s Cannes Film Festival a couple of weeks ago. The new featurette revolves around Mija, a farm girl from the mountains of South Korea who discovers the surprising lengths she’s willing to go to in order to protect the one she loves most: her best friend and Super Pig… Okja.
When Okja is abducted by a nefarious multinational corporation, she embarks on a journey across the globe, that stretches her geographical and emotional boundaries, unleashing an unexpected inner strength that rivals anything else you’ll see this summer.
Along the way, she goes from jumping into streams to jumping through glass windows…from hanging from tree branches to hanging off the side of a semi in downtown Seoul.
We said:
Boon Jong Ho’s choice to bounce the tone from family drama all of the way through to intense, near-horror-like sequences in the climactic scenes may see one ask as what audience he is aiming the film at, but its very hard not to walk away from Okja with a massive smile on your face. Personally, despite some minor flaws, I loved it.
Check out the brand new featurette below. Our full review of the film is over here.
