Save the Green Planet! (South Korea, 2003)

A traumatized young man abducts Korean leaders, believing they're toxic reptilian aliens - a fifth column launching a takeover of beloved Earth. Law enforcements half-seriously hire a disgraced, disheveled private detective with a long-ago history of super-crime solving. The alienated youngster Lee Byeong-gu builds an isolated basement command post/torture chamber/ to force the awful truth out of the slimy, uncooperative politicians and businesspeople. 

Save the Green Planet! is a strangely working mix of sci-fi, horror and comedy. What first seems to be a mostly funny and quirky film, soon takes a dark turn and descends into Lee Byeong's twisted mind and we really start to question wether if he's insane or the only human who knows the truth. A surprisingly deep, unpredictable and moving film.


Genre: Drama/Comedy/Thriller
