ASIAN SUNDAYS: TRAIN TO BUSAN

(BIG THANKS TO THE COPENHAGEN ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL FOR ORGANIZING TONIGHT'S EVENT)

17.30 = CINEMA CAFÉ OPENS (Help us celebrate the 10th anniversary of this classic Korean Zombie film!)

18.30 = “TRAIN TO BUSAN,” directed by Yeon Sang-ho, 2016, 118 minutes / "This is the most purely entertaining zombie film in some time, finding echoes of George Romero’s and Danny Boyle’s work but delivering something unique for an era in which kindness to others seems more essential than ever. For decades, movies about the undead have essentially been built on a foundation of fear of our fellow man—your neighbor may look and sound like you, but he wants to eat your brain—but “Train to Busan” takes that a step further by building on the idea that, even in our darkest days, we need to look out for each other, and it is those who climb over the weak to save themselves who will suffer. Social commentary aside, it’s also just a wildly fun action movie, beautifully paced and constructed, with just the right amount of character and horror. “ – Roger Ebert
