Pascale Ferran présente The Host de Bong Joon-ho

Discover The Host and many other cinematic masterpieces on LaCinetek: https://www.lacinetek.com/abonnement A decade before winning the Palme d'Or for Parasite, Korean filmmaker Bong Joon-ho directed The Host, a monster movie that already showcased his distinctive style. From the polluted waters of the Han River emerges an aquatic creature, terrorizing the streets of Seoul. While the army tries to cover it up, a family sets out to find their daughter, abducted by the beast. Blending genres, from horror to slapstick, The Host is an ecological and political fable where the monster, despite its terrifying appearance, is primarily there to show us—as the very etymology of the word suggests—to reveal to us the flaws and power dynamics of society. The film is presented by Pascale Ferran in a bonus feature produced for LaCinetek's 10th anniversary at the Cinéma Le Méliès in Montreuil.
